The White House is gearing up to tighten its grip on immigration policies. A series of executive orders are in the pipeline. These orders aim to boost the power of law enforcement agencies. They will also target so-called sanctuary states and cities. These are places that have chosen not to enforce federal immigration laws.

The upcoming orders will mark a significant milestone. They will bring the total number of executive orders signed during this presidency to over 140. This is a remarkable figure, considering it has only been 100 days since the start of the term. To put this into perspective, the previous president signed fewer orders during his entire time in office.

One of the key focuses will be on strengthening law enforcement. The goal is to empower these agencies to go after criminals more aggressively. Another order will direct the attorney general and the secretary of homeland security. They will be tasked with identifying jurisdictions that are not following federal immigration laws. This could lead to a list of states and cities that are not complying with the federal government's rules.

The administration has also made strides in other areas. Construction of the border wall has resumed. There are now 85 miles of new barriers in various stages of completion. This is a clear sign of the administration's commitment to its immigration policies.

The administration has also reported a significant drop in illegal border crossings. Between the inauguration and the 100-day mark, only 9 illegal aliens were released into the US. The number of unaccompanied children arriving at the border has also hit a record low. In March, border patrol encountered just 7, 000 people. This is the lowest number in years.

The White House has been proactive in its communication. A press briefing was held with the border czar. The focus was on the dramatic fall in illegal border crossings over the past three months. The driveway of the White House was lined with posters of illegal aliens arrested for violent crimes. This was a stark reminder of the administration's tough stance on immigration.

The administration has also made headlines with its actions. It has removed a two-year-old US citizen from the country. The removal was done without a meaningful process. In another case, the mother of a one-year-old girl was deported. This separated the mother and child indefinitely. These actions have led to a clash with the judicial branch. The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups have criticized these actions as an abuse of power.

The administration has also faced criticism for its handling of the budget. Democrats have been holding sit-ins and discussions to oppose the proposed budget plan. The plan includes cuts to programs that support childcare, health research, education, and more. This has led to a heated debate in Congress.

The administration has also been involved in international affairs. The president met with the leader of Ukraine. The meeting was seen as a positive step in the relationship between the two countries. However, the president's comments about Crimea have raised eyebrows. He suggested that the Ukrainian leader might be ready to give up the territory. This is a sensitive issue, as Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014.

The administration's actions have not gone unnoticed. Canadians are heading to the polls in a federal election. The election is overshadowed by the US president's threats to the country's sovereignty. The president has also been involved in a trade war, which has added to the tension.
