WASHINGTON-Donald Trump's allies are drawing up detailed proposals to implement the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's plans for an unprecedented immigration crackdown, including an effort that would deport asylum seekers to other countries, according to people involved in the effort.
A cadre of former Trump administration officials, Trump supporters and conservative immigration wonks are writing executive orders, policy memos and other documents in a bid to transform campaign rhetoric into policy. The goal, the people said, is to be ready on the first day of a Trump presidency to stem the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, unwind President Biden's immigration agenda and lay the groundwork for what the former president has said would be the largest mass deportation in U.S. history.
