🎧 “Trump wants to return and resume where he left off after his first term in office. Clearly, the top priority is immigration,” NPR’s Franco Ordoñez says. He plans to invoke a wartime authority known as the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which would allow him to deport foreign nationals without a hearing. Leon Fresco, who served on Trump’s Homeland Security Advisory Council during his first term, states that Trump is attempting to create an environment of “shock and awe” designed to instill fear and encourage people to take matters into their own hands and self-deport.
➡️ Take a deeper look into why Trump won the election with nine key takeaways. And, read what world leaders have to say about Trump's return. 

🎧 Trump’s transition is behind schedule because these plans are supposed to begin in the summer before it's clear which candidate will win, NPR’s Tamara Keith tells Up First. Each team is invited to sign formal legal agreements with the General Services Administration to get things started, but Trump’s team has not yet done so. A week before Trump’s victory, Howard Lutnick, the co-chair of his transition team, stated they were ready and had many candidates. A campaign adviser has informed NPR the competition for these roles is intense. Loyalty to Trump and a desire to disrupt Washington are top qualifications, the adviser said.

🎧 This massive investigation is one of the largest in the history of the Justice Department, NPR’s Ryan Lucas says. It started on the day of the riot and remains ongoing. The defendants are aware of Trump's promises and are seeking pardons. This includes both non-violent offenders and individuals convicted of attacking police officers, among other serious charges. Approximately 200 people have been convicted at trial, including members of two far-right extremist groups: the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
