America has seen its share of presidential transitions over the years. Some smooth as butter, others rough as sandpaper. But what’s coming on January 20, 2025, might just break the sound barrier.
For nearly four years, Americans have watched their southern border transform into something that looks more like a welcome mat than a sovereign boundary. With over 8 million illegal crossings since 2021, cities from New York to Los Angeles have buckled under unprecedented strain, while Washington bureaucrats seemed more interested in ordering lunch than ordering security.
The Post Millennial obtained exclusive details from a closed-door meeting between President-elect Donald Trump and Senate Republicans on January 8, where Trump’s team revealed an unprecedented plan to hit the ground running. And by running, we mean executing the most ambitious Day One agenda in presidential history.
The 100-Day Action Plan
Move over, FDR’s First Hundred Days – Trump’s first twenty-four hours might just rewrite the history books. According to Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Trump’s transition team has prepared nearly 100 executive orders ready for signing on January 20. “He has almost 100 executive orders that will go a long way to securing the border again and also put the energy sector back in play,” Mullin revealed on Fox News.
Stephen Miller, senior adviser to President-elect Trump and architect of successful Trump-era immigration policies, presented the comprehensive strategy to Senate Republicans. The plan draws from proven approaches that reduced illegal crossings by 87% during Trump’s first term.
Securing America’s Borders
Remember Title 42? It’s making a comeback, and this time, it’s not just about public health. The measure that allowed for the rapid expulsion of illegal crossers will be reinstated immediately. Border Patrol agents, who’ve been relegated to processing paperwork under Biden, will return to actually patrolling the border.
The successful “Remain in Mexico” policy will also return. No more catch-and-release – a program that saw 85% of migrants skip their court dates. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) praised the plan, noting, “This is exactly what we needed in 2021, and it’s exactly what we’ll deliver in 2025.”
Making America Safe Again
Local law enforcement officers will receive new authority through the Immigration and Nationality Act. State and local police will be empowered to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement in carrying out deportations. This marks a sharp departure from sanctuary city policies that tied officers’ hands.
The border wall? Those materials Biden’s team left rusting in the desert – valued at over $350 million – will finally fulfill their purpose. Trump’s team confirmed plans to restart construction within hours of taking office.
Biden’s Border Mess Gets a Cleanup Crew
The contrast couldn’t be more striking. While Biden’s DHS Secretary Mayorkas told migrants, “We’re not saying don’t come, we’re saying don’t come now,” Trump’s approach restores clear boundaries. The new administration will immediately terminate temporary protected status extensions that incentivized illegal entry.
International cooperation will see an overhaul, too. Trump’s transition team confirmed they’re already scheduling meetings with world leaders, including Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, to address global migration patterns and enforce territorial sovereignty.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump’s Day One arsenal includes 100 executive orders targeting Biden’s border failures
- Immediate reinstatement of proven Trump-era policies: Title 42 and Remain in Mexico
- Unprecedented empowerment of local law enforcement to protect American communities
- Complete border wall construction using abandoned Biden-era materials
