The article presents official statements and policy announcements, which should be interpreted as part of the broader political context.

The border affairs official of Donald Trump's elected government announced the intention to use temporary homes to accommodate "American citizen children" of illegal immigrants. Tom Homan, in an interview with NewsNation, referred to the extensive deportation plan for illegal immigrants from the U.S., stating: "The situation of children who are American citizens but whose parents are illegal immigrants is complex. We cannot detain these children, so they may be housed in temporary homes." He did not provide further details on how this plan would be implemented but urged illegal immigrants to leave the country "voluntarily" to avoid stricter enforcement measures. The border affairs official added: "If parents who have deportation orders are detained and are with their child, they can decide whether to leave the country together or have their child stay here, as those who have entered the U.S. illegally and have given birth have chosen to put their families in this situation." Donald Trump, the elected President of the United States, also announced on Sunday, December 9, his intention to deport all illegal immigrants from the U.S. He promised to eliminate birthright citizenship, which is one of the rights enshrined in an amendment of the U.S. Constitution. During his election campaign, Donald Trump prioritized immigration and committed to bringing what he called "unprecedented order" to the southern U.S. borders and to initiate the largest deportation operation of illegal immigrants on his first day in office. The article also mentions the introduction of key cabinet position candidates for Trump's second term, including Rubio, Walz, and Musk, and notes that European Union leaders have agreed to quickly return "illegal immigrants."
