Trump's Second Term Plans: Extreme Agenda Includes Targeting Adversaries, Unprecedented Immigration Crackdown

Former President Lays Groundwork for Potential 2024 Win, Plans Include Greater Control Over Federal Bureaucracy and Aggressive Legal Gatekeepers

Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate for 2024, is laying the groundwork for a potential second term with an extreme agenda that includes plans to use the Justice Department to target his political adversaries, carry out an unprecedented crackdown on immigration, and exert greater control over the federal bureaucracy.
Trump has vowed to use the Justice Department to investigate and charge his political adversaries, including President Biden and his family, if he wins another term.
Trump's immigration plans include barring millions of undocumented immigrants from the country or uprooting them years after settling in the U.S., using military funds to erect sprawling camps to hold undocumented detainees, and trying to end birthright citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil to undocumented parents.
Trump also plans to increase presidential power over federal agencies, centralizing greater control over the entire machinery of government in the White House, and alter civil-service rules to enable him to fire tens of thousands of federal workers and replace them with loyalists.
Trump's allies are planning to systematically install more aggressive and ideologically aligned legal gatekeepers who will be more likely to bless contentious actions in a potential new term.
