One of the first official acts of his presidency, Trump tells TIME, will be to pardon most of the rioters accused or convicted of storming the Capitol to block the certification of Biden's victory. It's going to start in the first hour, he says. Maybe the first nine minutes. Trump's approach illustrates his commitment to see through the promises made during his campaign regarding handling the events of January 6.
Trump also plans early actions to reverse many of Biden's Executive Orders and expand the drilling of oil on federal land. This indicates a swift move towards his administration's priorities, highlighting a focus on energy independence and returning to his pre-2020 policy positions.
His most aggressive moves will be on immigration enforcement. He vows to tighten the U.S. border with Mexico through a slew of Executive Orders, and aides say he would end the U.S. catch-and-release program and resume construction of a border wall.
While the Posse Comitatus Act forbids the deployment of the military against civilians, Trump says he is willing to enlist the military to round up and deport migrants. It doesn't stop the military if it's an invasion of our country, he says.
