President-elect Donald Trump will sign executive orders on Monday declaring an emergency at the southern border and ordering the start of mass deportations of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, two people familiar with the matter said.
That will be just part of an unprecedented flurry of actions by Trump on his first day in office, ranging from expanding energy production to reining in diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. There are plans for Trump to sign executive orders throughout the day, including in the Capitol Rotunda, where he will be sworn in; at a watch party inside Capital One Arena; and eventually at the White House, according to one person familiar with the plans.
