President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced Friday in his hush money case, but the judge declined to impose any punishment, an outcome that cements his conviction while freeing him to return to the White House without the threat of a prison time or a fine.

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is preparing more than 100 executive orders starting Day 1 of the new White House, in what amounts to a shock-and-awe campaign on border security, deportations and a rush of other policy priorities.

Trump told Republican senators about the planned onslaught during a private meeting on Capitol Hill. Many of the actions are expected to launch on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, when he takes office. Trump top adviser Stephen Miller outlined for the GOP senators the border security and immigration enforcement measures that are likely to launch soonest.

Axios first reported on Trump and his team's presentation.

"There will be a substantial number," said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.

Allies of the president-elect have been preparing a stack of executive orders that Trump could sign quickly on a wide range of issues — from the U.S.-Mexico border clampdown to energy development to federal Schedule F workforce rules, school gender policies and vaccine mandates, among other Day 1 promises made during his campaign.

While executive actions are common on the first day of a new White House, what Trump and his team plan is an executive punch unseen in modern times as he prepares to wield power in untested ways, bypassing the legislative machinery of Congress.

Some could be significant, others could be more symbolic messages of the new president's direction.

Senators briefed by Trump and his team during a lengthy session at the Capitol this past week are expecting the new administration to rollback many of the Biden administration executive orders while putting his own proposals in place.

Finishing the U.S-Mexico border wall, setting up immigration detention facilities where migrants could be housed until they are expelled are all part of the mix— some $100 billion in proposals, senators said— that incoming Trump administration and the GOP Congress are working to fund as part of their big budget reconciliation legislation.

Senators expect Trump to revert back to many of the same U.S-Mexico border measures in place during his first term— including those that require migrants to apply in other countries or remain in Mexico, rather than enter the U.S., while their claims are processed— as well as massive enforcement actions to deport those in the U.S. without legal authority.

Biden to deliver prime-time farewell, still weighing preemptive pardons

  • The Associated Press

Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who led negotiations on border security and immigration during the last Congress, said he expects the Trump team to focus initially on an estimated 1 million migrants who he said most recently entered the country, were convicted of crimes or who courts otherwise determined are ineligible to stay in the U.S.

"That's the low-hanging fruit," Lankford said. "People that recently crossed, people that were legally present and committed other crimes, people that the court has ordered them removed— that's well over a million people. Start working through that process."

Many of Trump's choices for top administration jobs are going through Senate confirmation hearings this coming week. Traditionally, the Senate begins holding votes on a president's nominees as soon as he takes office, with some even being confirmed on Inauguration Day.

"That would be nice," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who said senators are still awaiting background checks and other paperwork for many of Trump's picks. "We'll see."
