But actually, if you read it, it looks a lot like it would, in fact, empower the Trump administration to go after people who they blame for some of what's happened over the last four years.
He's signing more and more of these executive decrees that mean that he can, without having to pass a law through Congress, order certain things to happen. and that is more troops going to the border. He's particularly keen that they start constructing more physical barriers.

And that's probably not the wall, but rather huge metal fences, but a way to stop people from being able to walk over the border into the United States. A lot of refugees who had already been through the system, they had been investigated, their asylum claims had been vetted, and they had been told that they were being granted asylum and could move to the United States.

They had flights booked, special American flights that were going to bring them here. have been suddenly told that their air tickets are worthless, that they are not welcome in the United States, and that basically their refugee status has been completely rescinded. And then you have tens of thousands of people who had made appointments at the border.

All of those appointments have been cancelled as well. So President Trump has shut down any means by which any refugees or asylum seekers would try and make it into the country. hasn't happened yet, but we anticipate will soon, are immigration raids against people who are already in America.

There may be over 10 million undocumented migrants living in America, and Donald Trump has said he wants to deport all of them, which is probably impractical.

It won't be long, I don't think, before you see immigration officials in some of the big cities that have been particularly welcoming to migrants like Chicago, New York, San Francisco, round up people who are not legally in the country and then presumably detain them before they try to deport them.

This was an attack with no warning. Two explosions first and then the sirens. By daylight, the destruction was clear, with shattered glass all around, a business centre in ruins, and cars blackened and twisted by fire. Two of the dead were found in one of them. And in the centre of the street was a deep crater.

A military expert inspecting fragments of metal told me they came from a Russian Iskander ballistic missile, one that flies so fast it is very hard to intercept or even sound the alarm.
