He's going to have a lot to juggle.
Trump says that he could take over by the end of March, though, of course, he will have to get confirmed by the Senate.
And it is unclear whether the agency will be funded by Congress by then.
There is bipartisan consensus that there's a lack of trust in federal immigration enforcement officers.
The new policy from the Homeland Security Department says immigrants who came to the U.S.
as refugees could be detained if they do not have their green cards within a year of arriving.
Refugees are already required to apply for green cards.
But this new policy makes not having the green card a reason for deportation and states that refugees may be placed in detention while their applications are being reviewed.
Refugee resettlement groups estimate thousands could be affected, mostly those who entered under the Biden administration.
Last year, the Trump administration cut off key funding to organizations that assist refugees, including with services that help with green card applications.

This new step of pausing visa processing also comes as other parts of the administration have completely halted immigration processes for those on a list of countries with travel restrictions to the U.S.
