https://theintercept.com/2017/02/09/trump-administration-prepares-to-execute-vicious-executive-order-on-deportations/This is a very long article that has to be fully read to appreciate what is meant by "vicious." A small excerpt cannot express it.

As the worlds attention was occupied with the chaotic implementation of the travel ban and its dramatic domestic and international impacts, the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security has quietly moved forward with elements of the earlier executive orders, according to internal communications obtained by The Intercept.
Trumps orders on border security and public safety in the interior of the U.S. resurrect some of the most controversial immigration enforcement programs of recent years, seek to deputize state and local law enforcement as immigration officials across the country, and threaten major cuts to federal funding for cities that fail to fall in line with the administrations vision.
In order to address the massive strain those efforts would place on the nations already overburdened immigration system, Trump has called for the construction of new immigrant detention facilities along the U.S. border with Mexico including through private contracts as quickly as possible. Trump has also directed DHS to allocate all legally available resources to immediately assign asylum officers to immigration detention facilities for the purpose of conducting so-called credible fear hearings for asylum seekers. According to internal DHS communications obtained by The Intercept, this latter step is already underway.
In an email sent to personnel on Monday, Kathy Valerin, chief of staff at the Arlington Asylum Office for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, put out a call for asylum officer volunteers to conduct screening interviews at two for-profit immigrant detention facilities in Arizona as part of an ongoing effort to support the presidents orders beginning this week.

So, all you non-Native European Americans, go back to England, Spain, or whatever countries you got kicked out of or ran away from 200 years ago. And don't let Plymouth Rock hit you on the way out!
