 3/ **Trump named Tom Homan his "Border Czar" with oversight of immigration, maritime, and aviation security**. Homan, who oversaw Trump’s first-term “zero tolerance” family separation policy as acting ICE director, said the enforcement will be the “same as it was during the first administration” but Americans can expect “a hell of a lot more” deportations this time. The policy resulted in thousands of undocumented migrant children were separated from family members. In a separate [interview](https://www.thetimes.com/world/us-world/article/trump-tom-homan-mass-deportation-zh82rbswc), Homan said "We're going to concentrate on the worst of the worst \[...\] It's going to be a lot different to what the liberal media is saying it's going to be." The role does not require Senate confirmation.

 5/ **A judge granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause all filing deadlines in the federal case accusing Trump of plotting to overturn the 2020 election**. Judge Tanya Chutkan approved Smith’s request to give the Justice Department time to assess the implications of Trump’s return to the presidency and the department’s policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Smith and his team face a Dec. 2 deadline to report back with a status update on whether the case will proceed. Although Smith has paused this case, he has not taken similar action in the separate classified documents case, which was dismissed earlier this year and is now under appeal.

 6/ **Trump will receive classified briefings again despite being charged with mishandling state secrets**. Despite facing charges related to the mishandling of classified information, Trump will resume classified briefings as he prepares to transition back into office. The Biden administration has committed to facilitating an orderly transition, including providing Trump with access to sensitive national security information, a decision drawing concerns from intelligence officials wary of his past handling of such information. Although intelligence agencies traditionally offer classified briefings to President-elects, some experts, like former National Intelligence Council chair Gregory Treverton, see challenges ahead given Trump’s history with sensitive data, which previously raised alarms about security risks and operational integrity. ([Time](https://time.com/7174648/donald-trump-classified-documents/))
 
 * **💡 Why should I care?** As Trump resumes access to classified briefings, public concern over information security and responsible governance rises. Sensitive briefings prepare a president to navigate complex international relations and domestic security challenges, but when a president-elect has faced charges for mishandling classified information, it can prompt doubts about information protection and trust in leadership. For voters, this situation underscores the importance of accountability in handling national security and the stakes of electing leaders who will have access to the country’s most sensitive intelligence. Citizens have a vested interest in the protocols surrounding security briefings, as these ultimately impact national safety and public trust.
 
-7/ **Trump, in a call with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, handed the phone Elon Musk, whose Starlink satellites have been essential for Ukrainian communications in the ongoing war with Russia**. Zelensky was reportedly somewhat reassured by what he heard from Trump, and Musk said he will continue supporting Ukraine with Starlink. Separately, Trump urged Putin not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him about the U.S. military’s presence in Europe. Trump has promised to quickly resolve the conflict, suggesting that Ukraine may need to concede some territories to achieve peace, but has not offered any concrete details about how he intends to do so – just concepts of a plan.

 * **💭 Why does this matter?** Musk’s involvement underscores his influence over U.S. defense and foreign policy, especially as he’s a significant government contractor and has supported Trump’s campaign. Any changes to U.S. aid policies in Ukraine could shift the dynamics of the war, potentially weakening Ukraine's defenses and emboldening Russia, while altering America's role in European security.
