Trump named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ and rings NY Stock Exchange opening bell

As soon as its first day in office, the incoming Trump administration is reportedly planning on rescinding a 2011 immigration policy limiting deportation arrests in sensitive locations like schools, churches, and hospitals.

Instead, the administration plans to let Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents make arrests in these locations if they’re related to national security concerns, the arrest of a dangerous felon, or risks of imminent danger or the compromising of a criminal investigation, according to NBC News, which first reported on the alleged plan, citing three anonymous sources familiar with the new administration.

The new brief would also apply to arrests made in other locations like colleges and at events like protests, which could hamper the kind of large-scale pro-immigration protests seen during the first Trump administration.

Here’s more from Josh Marcus.

Here are a few highlights from the president-elect’s interview accompanying his “Person of the Year” gong.

He says he may not be able to wrestle inflation to the floor after all, claims to see no conflict of interest in giving Elon Musk wide-ranging powers over government and hints that he could yet rein in some of RFK Jr’s more, ahem, eccentric ambitions.

The president-elect declares the day’s trading open.

The president-elect wrapped up his brief remarks at the exchange by pivoting to the economy, pledging a return to American prosperity and concluding with a sad but probably fictional story about an elderly lady forced to return an apple to the refigerator in a grocery store because she could not afford it, promising this would never happen again in America under his leadership.

The president-elect is on more ingratiating form than he was in the final weeks of the election campaign, offering praise to Melania and to cabinet nominee Lee Zeldin, among others, even offering a kind word to a gentleman from ABC News.

He moves on to reflecting, suddenly, on the “powerful” and “devastating” threat posed by nuclear weapons before pivoting, equally abruptly, to congratulating Emmanuel Macron on the restoration of Notre Dame Cathedral.

The president-elect also joked about possibly holding the record for Time magazine covers, saying he enjoyed most of them but considers the new issue his favorite.

He said his first term was a success “despite a lot of turmoil that was not necessary” and suggested he has since tamed the media.

He further teased Scott Bessant, his nominee as treasury secretary.

The president-elect, flanked by his wife Melania, daughters Ivanka and Tiffany, Vice President-elect JD Vance, RFK Jr and Doug Burgum and others, just arrived on stage at the New York Stock Exchange to discuss his Time win and the economy before declaring the day’s trading open.
