President Donald Trump
will begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday,
beginning with steps to tighten border security — including his proposed
wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — and other domestic immigration
enforcement measures, according to two administration officials.
According to a report by PEOPLE,
later in the week, the president is expected to restrict the flow of
refugees to the United States. The proposed plans include at least a
four-month halt on all refugee admissions, as well as temporary ban on
people coming from some Muslim majority countries, according to a
representative of a public policy organization that monitors refugee
issues. The person was briefed on the details of that proposed action by
a government official and outlined the expected steps for The
Associated Press.
The
officials and the public policy organization’s representative insisted
on anonymity in order to outline the plans ahead of Trump’s official
announcements. The president is expected to sign the first actions
Wednesday during a trip to the Department of Homeland Security, with
additional actions being rolled out over the next few days, according to
one official.
On
his personal Twitter account Tuesday night, Trump tweeted: “Big day
planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow. Among many other things, we will
build the wall!”
