In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around President Trump's potential administration appointments and his immigration policy plans. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has emerged as a frontrunner for a significant role, having previously supported Trump on the campaign trail and aligning with his hardline immigration stance. Her collaboration with Tom Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), is expected to be pivotal in executing Trump's promise of mass deportations from day one of his presidency.

Homan, in a recent Fox News appearance, issued a stark warning to undocumented immigrants, emphasizing that illegal entry into the U.S. constitutes a crime. This rhetoric underscores the administration's commitment to a strict immigration policy.

As Trump fills key positions, the balance of power in the House of Representatives remains uncertain, with several races too close to call. Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence that Republicans will maintain control, despite potential challenges from Trump's influence on party dynamics.

Among the notable appointments, New York Representative Elise Stefanik has been selected as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, while Florida Representative Mike Waltz, a retired Army National Guard officer, will serve as national security adviser. Additionally, former New York Representative Lee Zeldin has been appointed to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, despite lacking experience in environmental issues. His role will be crucial in Trump's agenda to roll back existing climate regulations.

The meeting highlighted the administration's focus on reshaping policies and personnel in anticipation of a new term, with an emphasis on fulfilling campaign promises within the first 100 days.
