US President-elect Donald Trump has said he will deport or jail up to three million illegal migrants initially.

Those targeted would be migrants with criminal records, such as gang members and drug dealers, he told US broadcaster CBS in an interview.

There were an estimated 178,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records in the US in 2010, according to a congressional report.

Mr Trump also said his planned wall with Mexico could include fencing.

Meanwhile, the president-elect has chosen Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), as his future chief of staff, and Stephen Bannon, the head of his campaign and of the right-wing website Breitbart, as chief strategist.

In his first wide-ranging interview as president-elect, Mr Trump also said:

Future Supreme Court nominees would be "pro-life" and defend the constitutional right to bear arms

He will not seek to overturn the legalisation of same-sex marriage

He will forgo the president's $400,000 salary, taking $1 a year instead

He was "saddened" by reports of harassment of minorities and called for it to "stop"

He was "very proud" of his campaign but wished it had been "softer, nicer"

He will "think about" asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton's email use

The Republican defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's presidential vote in a shock victory after opinion polls favoured Mrs Clinton.

He is due to take over at the White House on 20 January, when Barack Obama steps down after two terms in office.

An estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants live in the US, many of them from Mexico, and Mr Trump made immigration and border control a key part of his campaign.

For the first time since winning the presidency, Donald Trump has put a number on how many people he plans to deport from US soil and it's a big one - two to three million.

Although he says this group comprises violent criminals, drug-dealers and gang members, to hit such a high mark would involve either casting a very wide net that covers even the smallest infractions or also deporting legal alien residents of the US with criminal convictions.

To pull this off, an expanded "deportation force" would almost certainly be necessary, but Mr Trump's advisers have spent the past few days downplaying the prospect of such an organisation.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump also has curtailed the scope of his "big, beautiful" border wall, acknowledging that it could be a fence in some areas. All of this is evidence that Mr Trump is grappling with exactly how to make his controversial immigration promises a reality.

Proposing a multi-billion-dollar wall and mass deportations is easy. Delivering, in the face of fiscal realities and opposition within one's own party, is a different matter entirely.

'The people that are criminal'

During his campaign, Mr Trump pledged to overturn amnesties introduced by President Obama, and strictly enforce immigration laws, deporting those without correct documents.

Mr Trump told CBS: "What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate."

According to The Washington Post Fact Checker, Mr Trump is likely to have got these estimates from a Department of Homeland 2013 report saying there were 1.9 million "removable criminal aliens." But that figure includes lawful residents, or those who have temporary visas, it points out.

The Migration Policy Institute, a US-based think tank, puts the number at 820,000 - but says that includes many people who have only been convicted of crossing the border illegally.

Asked about his plans for the Mexican border, Mr Trump said "a wall is more appropriate" in some parts but "there could be some fencing".

Other undocumented migrants would be assessed once the border was secured, Mr Trump added.

However, another top Republican, House Speaker Paul Ryan, said on Sunday that border security was a greater priority than mass deportation.

"We are not planning on erecting a deportation force,'' he told CNN's State of the Union programme. "I think we should put people's minds at ease."

Walling off Mexico

The US-Mexico border is about 1,900 miles (3,100 km) long and traverses all sorts of terrain from empty, dusty desert to the lush and rugged surroundings of the Rio Grande.

It is one of the busiest borders in the world, with at least one million people using it each day, as well as 400,000 cars and 15,000 lorries, according to Mexico's El Universal newspaper.

Some 650 miles are covered already by a non-continuous series of fences, concrete slabs and other structures.

Mr Trump has previously said his wall would cover 1,000 miles and natural obstacles would take care of the rest.

Forcing Mexico to pay for a border wall became a rallying cry among Trump supporters during the campaign.

Their candidate caused outrage by suggesting Mexicans were exporting "their rapists" to the US, along with drugs and other crime.

Elsewhere in the CBS interview, Mr Trump promised to be "very restrained" in his use of the Twitter social media platform in future.

Crediting his provocative use of Twitter for his success in the campaign, he said: "I find it tremendous. It's a modern form of communication. There should be nothing we should be ashamed of."

Talking about the demonstrations taking place in parts of the US, he said he believed some "professional protesters" were involved.

He also said he'd prefer a simple vote system to the electoral college - even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.</s>Donald Trump has given his first interview as president-elect of the United States.

The billionaire businessman appeared on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday night following his shock US election victory .

The Republican nominee doubled down on several of his campaign promises in the sit down chat with host Lesley Stahl.

Trump told the programme: "It's going to be America first."

Trump still plans on building a wall across the Mexican border, though he said he was perhaps open to part of it being a fence, rather than a wall.

"I'm very good at this. It's called construction," Trump said.

"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," Trump said.

Once he considers the country's borders secure, he said there will be a vetting process to allow re-entry.
• Defiant Donald Trump warns "I'll deport three million illegal immigrants immediately and I WILL build the wall"

"We're going to substantially simplify and lower the taxes," Trump told Stahl.

Though he called his competitor a "nasty woman" and a "puppet" during the final presidential debate, Trump characterised Clinton's concession phone call as "lovely."

"She is very strong and very smart," he said.

But Trump wouldn't rule out appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton over the use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

"They're good people. I don't want to hurt them. And I will give you a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do '60 Minutes' together," he said.

On Thursday, Trump met with President Obama , for a meeting that lasted 90 minutes. "We talked about the Middle East, that's tough," Trump told Stahl.

"It's a tough situation. I wanted to get his full view and I got his, you know I got a good part of his view," Trump said of his discussion with the man he once claimed was "the founder of ISIS" in a campaign speech.

His strategy for dealing with ISIS

Trump declined to tell Stahl how he planned to defeat ISIS, saying he wanted to preserve the element of surprise, and that "we have some great generals."

Stahl noted that he had previously said he knows more than those very generals.

He replied: "I'll be honest with you, I probably do because look at the job they've done."

According to Trump, the President did not ask Trump not to repeal Obamacare, but instead explained the up- and downsides to the Affordable Care Act.

Trump said his replacement for the Act will also include a provision mandating that insurers cover people with pre-existing conditions, and that parents will still be able to keep children "still living with them" on their insurance.

Stahl called Trump out on the presence of lobbyists on his transition team; Trump responded that the only people in D.C. available are lobbyists.

"I'm saying that they know the system right now, but we're going to phase that out," he said.

Trump told Stahl he plans to appoint a Supreme Court Justice who leans pro-life as he does, and that "if" Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, that would mean the states would decide abortion rights issues.

When Stahl pointed out that meant some states could ban abortions entirely, leaving women with no choice but to go to another state, he responded, "Yeah, well, they'll perhaps have to go, they'll have to go to another state."

"These cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They've been settled. And I'm fine with that," he told Stahl.

While he spent much of his campaign - and even years before - talking about how America's electoral system was rigged, Trump was unfazed by the fact that he won the presidency with the Electoral College but did not win the majority of the public's votes.

"I'm not going to change my mind just because I won," he told Stahl. "But I would rather see it where you went with simple votes. You know, you get 100 million votes and somebody else gets 90 million votes and you win."

"If I use it at all, I'm going to do very restrained," he told Stahl on Friday.

On Sunday morning, his account posted two tweets casting (inaccurate) aspersions at the New York Times.

In part because Trump won the Electoral College but not the popular vote, his election has inspired large protests across the country.

But perhaps of more concern are reports of increasing numbers of alleged hate crimes: violent rhetoric directed at ethnic minorities, swastikas spray-painted on cars, hijabs grabbed from Muslim women's heads, and worse.

"I am very surprised to hear that," Trump said when the reports were brought up. "I think it's a very small amount."

When pressed by Stahl over whether he had anything to say to the perpetrators of these alleged acts, Trump finally responded with: "Stop it."</s>Donald Trump will keep his vow to deport millions of undocumented migrants from the United States, he said in an interview to be broadcast Sunday, saying as many as 3 million could be removed after he takes office.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million — we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said in an excerpt released ahead of broadcast by CBS’s “60 Minutes” program.

The billionaire real estate baron made security at the U.S.-Mexico border a central plank of his insurgent presidential campaign, which resulted in last Tuesday’s shock election victory against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Trump added that the barrier to be erected on the U.S. border with Mexico may not consist entirely of brick and mortar, but that fencing could be used in some areas.

“There could be some fencing,” Trump says in his first primetime interview since being elected president last week.

“But (for) certain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I’m very good at this, it’s called construction,” he tells CBS.

Immigrants and their advocates are meanwhile taking to the streets of New York City to add their voices to those who have been marching and protesting Trump’s presidential win.

Organizers say the protest scheduled for Sunday midafternoon in Manhattan is about speaking out against Trump’s support of deportation and other measures.

It’s the latest in days of demonstrations across the country. Other protests are expected Sunday in San Francisco and Philadelphia.

On Saturday, demonstrators gathered in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, as well as in smaller places like Worcester, Massachusetts, and Iowa City, Iowa.

In Los Angeles, an estimated 8,000 people marched Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump’s hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women.</s>(CNN) Donald Trump's win shattered the dreams and ignited the fears of hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants known as "dreamers."

They are the young people who were brought to the United States by their parents as children.

This population, which the American Immigration Council says is roughly 1.8 million, feels exceptionally vulnerable under a Trump presidency because many came out of the shadows when President Barack Obama offered them temporary legal presence through executive action in 2012. Now, with a president-electwho promised to deport the undocumented, the fear of deportation is more real than ever.

But dreamers, named for the failed DREAM Act , which had proposed a multistep process to permanent residency, are dealing with those fears in different ways.

Four dreamers in different states share with CNN their reactions to Donald Trump's win and their hopes for the future.

They are only sharing their first names for fear of deportation.

Itzel, 22, says she is undocumented and unafraid.

She is ready to put up a fight to stay in the United States and says that perhaps what this country needed to wake up was exactly what it got: President-elect Donald Trump.

"Had Hillary won, the Band-Aid would have continued masking all of our issues. And with Trump's presidency it takes the mask off and it exposes the reality of what it's like to live in fear in the United States," Itzel says. "I think that more people are going to be united against this hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic person."

Itzel was only 4 years old when her parents brought her to the United States.

This is the country she knows and the community she has lived in all her life.

She says that when Donald Trump won the election her family started text messaging her, asking whether presidents had the power to deport en masse.

Itzel says she hopes that her family and people around the country turn their fears into action.

"It's not just about undocumented people, it's also about the black community, the transgender community, any disenfranchised community, the working-class folks," Itzel says. "I think that we are going to be united more and are going to change that fear to reaction."

As for those who voted for Donald Trump and support his divisive rhetoric, Itzel says:

"I don't have anything negative to say to them other than I feel very sorry for them. I hope they have love in their hearts to be able to live peacefully because it must really be terrible to live in a hateful manner."

Estrella, 32, says her three children are afraid of Trump.

But it was her 5-year-old who took the fear most to heart.

"He said he knew he [Trump] was a bad man who wanted to take away his mom and his dad," Estrella says her son told her.

Her son was referring to a common fear children of undocumented parents feel: The idea that their parents will be deported while they are at school.

Estrella says she had to calm her son down before taking him to school Wednesday, by reassuring him that she wouldn't allow Trump to hurt him or his family.

Estrella is an undocumented immigrant, who benefited from Obama's 2012 immigration executive action.

Like many dreamers, she was brought to the United States illegally by her parents, in her case when she was 1.

Her fear is that Trump will use the power of the pen to undo Obama's executive action on immigration.

"I am in limbo; but this is my home and we are not going anywhere. I grew up here. This is my country. This is where I've been all my life. And this is my kids' home. This is their birthright. They are US citizens. This is their country," Estrella says.

As a community organizer of a nonprofit, she says she is calming the fears of other immigrants in her community.

And while she feels that Trump's win is a setback, she believes it's a time for immigrants to maintain hope and for children like her 10-year-old daughter to stand up for her rights.

"I told her, 'If anyone says anything to you just remember your rights. Remember who you are. Remember where you came from and educate them. Be positive and educate those who are ignorant, those who don't understand the system and don't understand the country,'" Estrella says.

Rosa, 22, says she feels a triple threat after Trump's win because she is Mexican, a woman and a lesbian.

"I feel like it's a bad dream," Rosa said. "I feel there are so many things and so many people against me and what I believe in and what I am and it's just very hard."

Rosa was 9 months old when her parents brought her to the United States illegally.

She lived in the shadows until she obtained a work permit under Obama's 2012 immigration executive order.

The first thing she did, she says, was get a job.

She says it would be difficult for a President Trump to deliver on his promise to deport the millions of undocumented people in the United States, including her and her parents.

But the fear of deportation, she says, is very real. So much so, her parents are thinking about self-deporting and so is she.

"I would also consider going with them, too, because they are all we have. I'm not going to stay here by myself," Rosa says. "We are all concerned and scared."

Cesar, 33, wants to find common ground with Trump supporters and figure out a path forward for everyone in the country.

"We want to ask people who voted for Trump to just understand that we also struggle, that we struggle with the same things. That we are not the culprits of their woes. We are not the group to blame for inequalities," Cesar said.

Cesar was born in Guatemala and was brought by his family to the United States when he was 11 years old. He studied philosophy, human rights and theology in college and finished a year of law school. He received a work permit under Obama's immigration executive order and hopes that Trump supporters see that immigrants contribute to society just like everyone else.

"Although the platform Mr. Trump ran was very much against immigrants and Latinos, we do contribute. We pay our taxes. We work to make this country great," Cesar says.

When Trump won the election, Cesar says that the worry of deportation escalated in Latino communities.

The fear is very real, he says.

"We are all afraid of that possibility, because come January if his [Trump's] policies are enacted, people fear for their safety, parents fear for their children and children fear for their parents," Cesar says.

But Cesar is still hopeful. He believes that dialog with Trump supporters could help unite the country.

"I think that there is a lot more that unites us other than the hateful rhetoric that carried the election," Cesar says.

Ignacia Rodriguez, an immigration policy advocate at the National Immigration Law Center, says the deportation fears that dreamers are feeling are real and justifiable.

Those who took advantage of Obama's executive action and were entered into the "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program" only have temporary work permits, which will eventually expire, she says. When that happens, they are back to being undocumented and vulnerable to deportation.

It could happen even sooner if Trump and his future administration decide to do away with the program. The future of their status in the United States, she says, is in the hands of the President-elect and Congress.

President-elect Trump's camp did not respond to a request for comment.</s>Donald Trump says he would accept a fence in some places along the U.S. southern border where he had promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

He also told CBS’ 60 Minutes that he’s willing to deport or incarcerate 2 million to 3 million people in the country illegally who “are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers.”

Such a promise was directly at odds with House Speaker Paul Ryan, who told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday that “we are not planning on erecting a deportation force.” Ryan said “I think we should put people’s minds at ease” on mass deportation because the top priority is really border security.

The network released portions of Trump’s interview in advance of its broadcast Sunday night.

Trump campaigned on a vow to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He also has insisted he will deport all 11 million people in the country illegally, with exceptions.</s>President-elect Donald Trump has outlined his tough immigration stance regarding the border wall with Mexico and criminals entering the United States.

In an interview with CBS News to be broadcast Sunday, Trump promises to immediately deport or incarcerate up to three million “criminal” illegal immigrants once he is in office.

The businessman will appear on CBS’s ‘60 Minutes‘ on Sunday night in his first television interview since winning the election to discuss the plans of the 45th president of the US.

CBS has released a number of clips from the interview. An excerpt was shown on Face the Nation Sunday in which Trump answered questions from Lesley Stahl about his campaign promises on immigration and that wall.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” he said. “But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally.”

Trump said after the border had been secured, and “everything gets normalized,” they were going to look at other illegal immigrants, “who are terrific people” he said, to make a determination. “But before we make that determination… it’s very important, we are going to secure our border.”

When asked if we really going to build a wall, Trump replied, “Yes.”

Stahl then asked if he would accept a fence. “For certain areas I would, but for certain areas a wall is more appropriate,” he said, adding, “I’m very good at this, it’s called construction, it’s what I do.”</s>Trump says US will try to deport 3 million undocumented immigrants

President-elect Donald Trump says his administration will seek to promptly deport up to 3 million immigrants with “criminal records” who are in the U.S. illegally but will defer the far wider exclusions he called for during the campaign until “after the border is secure.”

Trump’s comments, made in an interview recorded for CBS’s “60 Minutes,” highlight one of the challenges he faces in reconciling the rhetoric that propelled him to victory with how he is prepared to govern.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records … probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said. “After the border is secure, and after everything gets normalized, we’re going to make a determination” on whether to deport others, he said.

Trump’s estimate of how many immigrants have criminal records exceeds what others have found. About 820,000 people in the U.S. illegally have criminal convictions, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute, a group that is funded by Fortune 500 companies, major foundations, and the U.S. and more than a dozen foreign governments.

In an immigration policy speech in August, Trump said about 2 million “criminal aliens” lived in the U.S., a calculation made by the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonprofit group that seeks to lower immigration levels. The organization said it was citing a Department of Homeland Security report that counted 1.9 million “removable criminal aliens.”

That group, however, includes people who are legal permanent residents or have temporary visas. Trump did not say when this second phase of determinations might unfold.

Asked about his oft-repeated pledge to secure the U.S.-Mexico border by building a wall, Trump said he would consider sections of fencing, as preferred by some members of Congress.

Trump’s comments on immigration were echoed Sunday by other Republican leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said, “We’re focused on securing the border. … We’re not planning on erecting a deportation force.”

Newt Gingrich, who was House speaker in the 1990s and who is assisting Trump’s transition, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally who have criminal pasts would be the new administration’s priority.

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a close Trump ally, said his administration “would have to be very careful” regarding immigration from terrorism-prone regions of the Middle East.

“I think this is going to be a country-by-country decision,” Giuliani said on CNN.

Much will depend on the extent to which each country cooperates in sharing information. One clear exception, Giuliani suggested, would be prospective immigrants from Syria, because of the possibility that terrorists might be planted among refugees.

“We would be foolish to allow these people to come into the United States,” Giuliani said. U.S. authorities “already have 1,000 investigations of radical Islamic terrorists in the United States,” he said.

Under Obama administration policy, Syrian refugees applying for asylum in the U.S. undergo an 18- to 24-month vetting process, some of the most stringent examinations the government says it conducts in considering whom to allow in the country.</s>President-elect Donald Trump has promised to start deporting illegal immigrants as soon as he takes office

He said he plans to deport or imprison between two and three million undocumented immigrants with criminal records and once the border is “secure,” immigration officials will begin to make a “determination” about the remaining undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” he told the CBS news network.

“But we’re getting them out of our country, they’re here illegally,” the New York businessman added.

Referring to his infamous campaign pledge to build a wall on the border with Mexico, the real estate mogul said, “A wall is more appropriate” in some areas but “there could be some fencing” too.

Trump said once his administration made sure that the border was “secure,” he would begin to make a “determination” about what to do with the rest of the undocumented immigrants in the country.

Trump has pledged to form a “deportation force” to push over 11 million immigrant out of America, one of his key objectives that prompted international backlash.

Earlier, in an attempt to ease rising concerns among immigrant families, US House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan said that Trump was not likely to forcibly remove immigrants.

“We are not planning on erecting a deportation force. Donald Trump is not planning on that,” Ryan told CNN on Sunday.

Since Trump’s election, thousands of protesters have been holding rallies in various cities across the US, urging him to resign over his racist and divisive campaign pledges.</s>WASHINGTON: Donald Trump will keep his vow to deport millions of undocumented migrants from the United States, he said in an interview to be broadcast Sunday, saying as many as three million could be removed after he takes office.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million — we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,” Trump said in an excerpt released ahead of broadcast by CBS’s 60 Minutes program.

“But (for) certain areas, a wall is more appropriate. I’m very good at this, it’s called construction,” he tells CBS.

 He left the door open, however, on the fate of the millions of other immigrants in the country illegally.

“After the border is secured and after everything gets normalized, we’re going to make a determination on the people that you’re talking about who are terrific people,” he said.

Immigration, he said, was one of three top legislative priorities he has discussed with House Speaker Paul Ryan, the others being action to undo Obama’s signature health care reform and a bill to cut taxes and simplify the tax code.

Trump also vowed to move aggressively on a conservative agenda in filling Supreme Court vacancies, cracking down on immigration and cutting taxes, but also sought to reassure worried Americans they have nothing to fear from his presidency.

Setting aside the strident tone of his campaign, the 70-year-old assumed a gentler manner in his first television interview since his shock election, saying he was “saddened” by reports of harassment of Muslims and Hispanics, and telling the perpetrators: “Stop It.”

The interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes,” which was taped Friday and aired in full Sunday, offered Trump an opportunity to reintroduce himself after an ugly, name-calling campaign and surprise victory that sparked protests in cities across the United States.

“I just don’t think they know me,” the billionaire real estate mogul said at one point, of the thousands of protesters who have massed in streets below his Trump Tower headquarters with signs that read “Not our president.”

Told that many Americans are scared of his presidency, Trump said: “Don’t be afraid. We are going to bring our country back.”

Trump made it clear he intends to aggressively push a right-wing agenda, pledging to name justices to the Supreme Court who are against abortion and for gun rights.

“The judges will be pro-life,” Trump told CBS. “In terms of the whole gun situation,” he added, “they’re going to be very pro-Second Amendment.”

He will have an immediate opportunity to fill a vacancy on the court left by the death of arch conservative justice Antonin Scalia. President Barack Obama’s attempt to fill the seat was blocked by the Republican-controlled Senate.

He also confirmed he would forgo the $400,000 salary that comes with the office of US president.</s>U.S. president-elect Donald Trump says he would accept a fence in some places along the U.S. southern border where he had promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

Meanwhile, Trump tweeted twice on Sunday about the New York Times’ “bad” and “highly inaccurate” coverage of his campaign and claimed it was losing “thousands of subscribers.”

In a letter to subscribers after the election, the publisher of the Times questioned whether Trump’s “sheer unconventionality” led the paper and other news outlets to underestimate his support among U.S. voters. The letter vowed to “rededicate” the Times to its mission of reporting news “without fear or favour.”
President-elect of the United States Donald Trump says he plans to deport or imprison up to 3 million illegal migrants, targeting those with criminal records.
