Donald Trump lays out plans for second term

Donald Trump has vowed to press on with the biggest deportation in American history after he takes office next month, doubling down on his promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, including their family members who are in the nation legally.


In a wide-ranging sit-down — his first network television interview since winning the election — the US President-elect said he'd try to end the constitutional right granting citizenship to anyone born in the country. 


He also threatened to jail lawmakers who'd investigated him for his alleged illegal actions during his first term.
