President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed his plan to initiate mass deportations once back in office, top aides have said.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s national campaign press secretary, stated that President-elect Donald Trump’s overwhelming victory serves as a clear endorsement of the policies he championed throughout his campaign.

“The American people delivered a resounding victory for President Trump, and it gives him a mandate to govern as he campaigned, to deliver on the promises that he made,” Leavitt said, according to Newsweek.

“Which include, on Day One, launching the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrants that Kamala Harris has allowed into this country. It includes drill, baby drill, and expediting permits for nuclear, for fossil fuels, for an above-all energy approach that’s going to bring down the cost of living in this country,” she said.

“It includes, on Day One, bringing Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table to end this war and returning to the very tough sanctions on the Iranian regime, so we can stop the chaos in the Middle East,” she said.

Trump adviser Jason Miller, meanwhile, said Trump’s first day back in office will usher in a return to the policies in effect when he left office, “such as put all of his strong border policies back in place.”

“The previous administration didn’t need any acts of Congress to go and break the border, and so all we have to do with regard to the border is put his policies back in place,” he said. “We can secure it and start making the country much more safe.”

Advisers have also said that Trump wants new laws from a potentially GOP-controlled Congress as well to keep the border strong so that a future president cannot simply reverse his policies again.

“Also we can get a lot of the energy exploration going, which, of course that will help with bringing down the cost of things and stop the out-of-control inflation that we’ve seen,” Miller added.
