President Donald Trump set in motion some of his most controversial immigration promises during his first week back in office, declaring a national emergency at the United States’s southern border, ordering his administration to reinstate some of his first-term policies and ending programmes that allowed people to legally enter the US.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House on January 20, Republicans will have a majority in the Senate. This means that his Cabinet nominees will likely face an easier path to confirmation, even for those who may have surrounded themselves with controversies.

Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth announced he would fire "every general who carried water for Obama and Biden." This is the first such operation in U.S. history. Until now, every administration has adhered strictly to the principle of not interfering in the internal affairs of the military.

Senate hearings are scheduled this coming week for several of Trump’s picks for the Cabinet. Many have met with senators individually. Now, they will go before the committees overseeing the agencies that Trump wants them to run. Here’s a look at the schedule for Senate hearings set so far, in Eastern time:

President Donald Trump plans to pardon people convicted for participation in the January 6 Capitol riot, which may include two of its organizers: Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, ABC News reported Monday.

The orders include declaring a national emergency to deploy military personnel to the border, suspending refugee resettlement and ending birthright citizenship.

If President Donald Trump’s personnel moves are any tell, he may come out of the gate toward Iran with a tone that is more diplomatic than combative.

The president issued several actions related to the border or immigration, including ramping up deportations and suspending refugee resettlement.

The Trump administration is ending use of a border app called CBP One that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work.

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump on Monday declared a national border emergency and ordered the U.S. armed forces to repel "forms of invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border, including illegal migration and drug trafficking.

The Trump administration will also push to fill the thousands of political appointments across government as soon as possible, another source told Reuters.

Active-duty troops on the border, deportation flights, more manpower and a slew of executive orders are sending a message that the U.S. is taking a tough line on immigration.
