From Washington: President Donald Trump's Immigration Agenda

The Fox News Rundown

Last week, Congress passed the Laken Riley Act with bipartisan support. Once signed by President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security can detain illegal immigrants who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. In his first week in office, the president signed several border Executive Orders, causing controversy in sanctuary cities nationwide. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains the legislation, how it garnered bipartisan support, and the outcome of Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing.

President Trump wasted no time this week fulfilling his campaign promise to secure the southern border and deport illegal aliens through a flurry of executive actions.

Retired ICE agent Victor Avila discusses how this will play out over the coming year.
