First, the new administration will seek to deport quickly those illegal immigrants who are deemed national security threats. At the same time, it will pursue illegal immigrants with criminal records. It will assign priority to the illegals whose cases have already been adjudicated and were previously ordered to de deported.
Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that as of Sept. 30, 2023, there were 1,292,830 people in the U.S. illegally who have already had full legal due process and have already received a final deportation order from an immigration judge.
Ironically
, the Trump administration will rely on a document known as the Mayorkas Memorandum to deport other illegals.
On Sept. 30, 2021, Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security head Alejandro Mayorkas sent that administration’s top immigration officials a set of guidelines for enforcing immigration law.
In the memo, Mayorkas laid out the Biden Administration's rules for deporting illegal immigrants.
“
We will prioritize for apprehension and removal noncitizens who are a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security,” Mayorkas wrote.
The first group was terrorists and spies.
The second was criminals.
Then there was the third group, the "threats to border security".
“A noncitizen who poses a threat to border security is a priority for apprehension and removal,” Mayorkas wrote. “
A noncitizen is a threat to border security if (a) they are apprehended at the border or port of entry while attempting to unlawfully enter the United States; or (b) they are apprehended in the United States after unlawfully entering after November 1, 2020.”
When the Trump Administration applies the Nov. 1, 2020, Biden rules - the Mayorkas standard - by deporting those who had most recently crossed illegally into the U.S., Democrats will have no basis for complaint whatsoever.
