The White House is kicking off a weeklong celebration of Donald Trump's first 100 days in office by highlighting his initiatives to combat unrest at the border.
Posters of immigrants accused of crimes such as rape and murder are displayed on the White House lawn, positioned so they can be seen in the background during television broadcasts from the West Wing.
Tom Homan, Trump's top border adviser, told reporters that efforts to secure the border had achieved “unprecedented success,” adding: “We will continue to work with full force.”
Immigration is top of the polls, and White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt noted at a morning briefing that the administration is “in the early stages of the largest deportation campaign in American history.”
Later on Monday, Ms. Leavitt held a second briefing exclusively for “new media,” during which pro-Trump social media influencers asked friendly questions and applauded at the end.
Mr. Trump will celebrate his 100th day in office on Tuesday, and the Republican president is set to mark the occasion in Michigan, where he will hold a rally in Macomb County, an automobile hub north of Detroit. After relatively little travel during his term, Mr. Trump will also deliver the commencement address on Thursday at the University of Alabama.
