Trump will issue executive orders to remake immigration policies; legal, logistical questions remain
SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump plans to implement significant changes to U.S. immigration policies, including ending asylum access, sending troops to the southern border, and attempting to eliminate birthright citizenship. Although these executive orders will be announced soon, their execution remains uncertain, particularly regarding legal challenges to end automatic citizenship for anyone born in the U.S. Trump also intends to suspend refugee resettlement for four months, halt “catch-and-release” practices, and revive the “Remain in Mexico” policy. The administration aims to complete border wall construction, though specifics on troop deployment and funding remain unclear amid rising concerns from immigrant communities.

Back where it turned, Biden’s final 24 hours begin in South Carolina | South Carolina
SUMMARY: Joe Biden returned to South Carolina on Sunday for his farewell as President, marking the state that catalyzed his 2020 campaign. Joined by wife Jill and Rep. James Clyburn, he visited the Royal Missionary Baptist Church and the International African American Museum, expressing gratitude to the congregation. In the 2020 primaries, Biden initially struggled but later won decisively in South Carolina, revitalizing his campaign. Despite its Democratic history, South Carolina has leaned Republican in recent decades. Biden’s farewell follows a high-profile national address, with expectations for a traditional departing president’s ceremony in Washington on Monday, attended by notable figures.
