Donald Trump and his new border czar Tom Homan will start their work to deport ‘millions’ of migrants on his first day in the White House.
Starting with the asylum apps used by migrants to gain interviews and then targeting the super gangs terrorizing American cities, the pair is laying out who will be targeted for removal from the country.
Daily Mail spoke with sources across the country who mapped out exactly how they plan to do it.

THE FIRST TARGETS
After being sworn in on January 20, President Donald Trump will immediately axe the CBP One Mobile app program, billed as the ‘legal way’ for migrants at the southern border to request an asylum interview at a port of entry, according to sources close to Trump’s transition team.
The program hears 1,450 asylum claims a day across the entire US-Mexico border.
‘They’re going to close the border down immediately,’ Mar-a-Lago regular and Miami immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez told DailyMail.com.

Several Trump insiders also shared that a slew of other pathways into America, like asylum claims made by migrants who enter illegally at the border and the controversial CHNV parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans will cease.
‘Immediately, immediately, that’s all going to end. Those will be the first targets,’ Vasquez explained.
NO MORE BOGUS ASYLUM CLAIMS
Trump’s newly named ‘Border Czar,’ Tom Homan, has expressed particular interest in removing asylum-seekers, who he believes are gaming the legal system.
The US is obligated to hear asylum claims, even though between 60- to 70-percent of all cases are ultimately denied by courts.
‘The one group that they are targeting immediately are the fake asylum seekers,’ prominent San Antonio Republican Kyle Sinclair shared of his conversations with Homan.
‘That was, by far, the one (group) he mentioned to me were the fake-asylum seekers.
‘They’re known. They have their addresses.’
ENDING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
Homan has also been telling supporters he’s looking for ways to end birthright citizenship, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution that gives automatic citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
‘He’s mentioned that he’s going to end birthright citizenship,’ Vasquez added.
‘Just because someone’s born here doesn’t automatically make them a citizen.’

It’s unclear how Homan and the Trump administration would get around the Constitutional protection and legal challenges that would arise from any changes to birthright citizenship, with Vasquez only saying ‘the way he’s going to approach it is different.’
For years, some Republicans have attacked so called ‘anchor babies’ – children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrant parents or other non-citizens.
‘Trump won because of his “America first” agenda,’ Sinclair stated.
‘We want to be taken care of, and by allowing millions of people into the United States, no other country does this.
Trump has every right, under executive order, to try to fulfill what he’s dong.’
RESTORING THE REMAIN IN MEXICO PROGRAM
The new border czar intends to bring back the controversial ‘remain in Mexico’ program or Migrant Protection Protocols, which says that asylum seekers must wait in Mexico until their court date instead of being granted entry into America.
‘MPP will be back in place,’ Vasquez said.
‘I’m sure they’re going to attack it differently because there’s been a lot of litigation regarding MMP, so when they implement it, they’re going to take into account everything that’s happened in the court system.’
Trump launched the policy in 2019 when he was last in office.
Biden, echoing the complaints of human rights groups that the policy was leading to increased rape and abduction cases, vowed to end it.
‘Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy is dangerous, inhumane, and goes against everything we stand for as a nation of immigrants.
‘My administration will end it,’ he tweeted in 2020, before making good on his promise.
Mexico has consistently resisted the effort.
ENDING TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS
Temporary Protected Status, (TPS) a program that has allowed thousands of newly arrived migrants, including Venezuelans and Haitians, will likely be allowed to sunset.
If a migrant is granted TPS, they are allowed to legally remain in the US and given a work permit for 18 months.
Vasquez had not heard of plans to take it away from people who already have it, but rather, let the program expire and remove migrants when their protection runs out.
He first went to the city manager about two weeks ago to ask about TdA after fire fighters who respond to emergencies in the area where the gang is operating became concerned for their safety
Widespread raids at businesses or other work places are not being discussed, mainly because many of the migrant who will be initially targeted for removal from the country are already known to the government.
Any migrant in the process of seeking asylum, with TPS or parole status has been given permission to be in the US temporarily, and their addresses and whereabouts are known to the feds.
Many are required to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and/or have regular court dates.
Between ousting the migrants who arrived during the Biden Administration, Trump’s border czar plans to go after a second group.
SHUTTING DOWN THE SUPER GANGS
‘They are going after Tren de Aragua,’ Vasquez detailed. ‘They’re going to go after them, and they’re going to go after the Mexican cartels.
The Venezuelan super gang, known as TdA to law enforcement, is a vicious prison gang turned international criminal organization.
Its thug members snuck over the border mixed in with asylum seekers and have been linked to a crime wave across the nation including cop beatings, murders, child prostitution and violent robberies.
Part of the plan is to specifically target migrant super gangs like Tren de Aragua
‘These are very dangerous people,’ the lawyer, who was among the first in the US to ring the alarm on TdA, said.
‘I’ve spoken to so many Homeland Security Investigation agents who are so eager to get back to work. During this (Biden) Administration, there has been so much red tape– agents haven’t been able to do their job.’
During the presidential campaign, TdA dominated headlines after law enforcement made it known the gang had control of entire apartment complexes in cities like Aurora, Colorado and San Antonio, Texas.
‘It’s time. We need to clean up our communities,’ Vasquez added. ‘We have our own criminals to deal with. We can’t be taking in all the criminals from all over the world .’
Homan also has members of the the Chinese Communist Party and other migrants gangs, like MS-13, in his cross-hairs.
ENLISTING THE POLICE AND MILITARY
Insiders have been hesitant to wade into the details of whether the Trump Administration even has the manpower to deport millions of people, although suggestions of using the military and local police departments have been floated.
‘Trump won because of his “America-first” agenda,’ said Kyle Sinclair, vice chair of the Bexar County Republican Party in Texas
Each immigration program Trump is proposing to end is legally complex and will no doubt face court challenges from the left.
Then they are problems with deporting people, like whether US citizens or residents might be caught up in mass deportations.
On top of that, countries like Venezuela and China, whose citizens have flooded the border and US courts with refugee claims, do not have diplomatic relations with the US, making the return of its citizens nearly impossible.
No other country, like Mexico, is obligated to take any migrant from other countries– only its own citizens.
But Vasquez believes Trump’s brash brand of international relations can help convince those countries into working with him.
‘I know he’s going to make moves in Venezuela, and he’s going to do whatever he has to to make these people take back their people,’ Vasquez said.
