Trump vows to stop 'border invasion' at victory rally DW 01/20/2025
Briefly

In his speech, Trump reiterated his commitment to stopping what he termed the "invasion" of immigrants at the border, identifying criminals among Venezuelan migrants. He declared, "We're going to stop the invasion of our borders" and specifically aimed at the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, vowing to remove them from the US, stating, "These are rough people, and they're getting the hell out of our country." This points to a continued focus on immigration enforcement as a top priority.
During his address, Trump promised to tackle "every single crisis" facing the nation as he prepares to take office, declaring his intent for a landmark first 100 days in office. He stated, "We're going to give them the best first day, the biggest first week and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history," while also vowing to undo measures enacted by Joe Biden, signaling a stark policy shift ahead.
Trump also pledged to release records related to historical assassinations, including those of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. Although he had made similar promises previously, he only partially fulfilled them in his term, leaving many details vague about the upcoming release, which indicates an ongoing interest in addressing historical government transparency issues.
Another significant pledge from Trump was taking steps to restrict participation of transgender individuals in women's sports, emphasizing his campaign promises to limit gender-affirming care. He indicated this would be a pressing action following his inauguration, highlighting his administration’s stance on issues pertaining to gender identity and sports.
