From. The New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams.
This is the Daily
since taking office,
President Trump's plan to deport millions of undocumented people keeps running into new barriers
and it's forced the White House to come up with more
and more creative solutions to fulfill his promise.
Today,
my colleagues Julie Turkowitz and Hamed Ali Aziz on one of the more innovative
and controversial solutions so far.
It's Monday, February 24th.
Julie, we've had you on the show before talking about immigration,
which is obviously a huge priority for President Trump.
In his first week alone, he suspended the asylum program.
He said that no new people would cross over the border.
And on top of all of that, he pledged to deport millions of people who were already in the country,
which is a huge and really complicated thing to undertake.
So can you just explain to us what have we seen so far
and what does that tell us about how the new administration has begun tackling this issue?
So President Trump has this major challenge,
which is that his administration wants to deport a lot of people and wants to deport them quickly.
