Summary
President-elect Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency to expedite undocumented immigrant deportations, raising concerns over a potential $350 billion cost. This move has sparked backlash from civil rights organizations like the ACLU and scrutiny over Trump's cabinet nominations, particularly Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz. Trump is under pressure to postpone judicial confirmations while navigating ongoing investigations into his legal and political activities, all of which will likely impact immigration policy and the Republican Party's strategic direction.
