**Trump Adviser Carlos Trujillo Discusses Immigration Reforms Ahead**

Carlos Trujillo, a key adviser to Donald Trump, has provided insights into immigration strategies anticipated under Trump’s forthcoming term. Although not widely recognized, Trujillo has been pivotal in shaping Trump's successful strategies to attract a significant number of Latino voters. Having served as a senior adviser since Trump's 2016 campaign and during his first term, Trujillo asserts that Trump’s victory signals a strong mandate for comprehensive immigration reforms, including mass deportations.

Trujillo, who is himself the son of immigrants from Fidel Castro's Cuba, voiced strong support for Trump’s recent appointments of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan as deputy chief of staff for policy and border czar, respectively. According to Trujillo, these appointments will revive potent immigration policies from Trump’s first term, such as the "safe third country" agreements and the "Remain in Mexico" program.

In an interview with POLITICO, Trujillo explained that the deportation of individuals in the country illegally, particularly those committing crimes, would ultimately be less costly than allowing them to remain. He emphasized that, under Trump’s direction, the focus would be on removing dangerous individuals and those with criminal records, highlighting the staggering numbers: over 600,000 people with criminal records in the U.S., including approximately 13,000 murderers.

Despite criticism from Democrats regarding family separations and harsh enforcement tactics, Trujillo defended the administration's plans and insisted that the priority would be on expelling individuals who pose significant risks. He also rebuffed concerns by pointing out that the controversial practice of detaining children started under the Obama administration.

Moreover, Trujillo confirmed that finishing the border wall remains a crucial objective, alongside reinstating effective policies from Trump’s first term, such as "Title 42 expulsions." These measures, he argued, are essential to addressing the ongoing migratory crisis.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also made headlines Tuesday, addressing the need for introspection and strategic adjustments following recent electoral setbacks for Democrats. He acknowledged the need to build on their successes while openly correcting past mistakes to resonate with their traditional voter base.
