Hi, it's Diane. On my mind, the immigration crackdown. Promises of mass deportations were a centerpiece of Donald Trump's campaign. His fiery and false rhetoric painted all undocumented immigrants as violent criminals.

He vowed to throw them out of the country by the millions, starting on day one.

Last week's appointment at Tom Holman as boarders are,

and Stephen Miller, as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy,

signaled that Trump plans to follow through on those promises.

I think that we can expect that, you know, something dramatic is likely coming.

That's Nick Mirov.

He covers immigration enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security or the Washington Post. He joined me to explain whether Trump can put his words into action and just how much he could transform the nation's immigration system.

Nick, President-elect Trump's rhetoric about immigration has been pretty rough, and I wonder to what extent you think he will seriously try to carry out all the

things he's promised. What do you make of that? Yeah, I mean, I have gotten this question a lot

over the past week. And what I can say I, you know, can say is that I think that

they have created very high expectations for an aggressive and ambitious deportation operation.

And so they are certainly going to attempt something very big. There will be limitations

based on the, you know on the logistics of undertaking,

something like trying to remove hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. There will be

financial limitations on that. But I think, as they have said, everything is on the table.

They are thinking creatively about this. And the personnel

that President-elect has surrounded himself with, including his top aide, Stephen Miller, and

the new border star Tom Homan, these figures have been preparing for this kind of thing for a

decade. Let's dig down a little bit.

He's vowed to build detention camps.

Are we talking about the 40s and the Japanese detention camps?
