A newly leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security suggests that the Trump administration plans to hit the ground running on the construction of that U.S.-Mexico border wall when they move into the White House later this month. Overturning Obama’s immigration-related executive orders, expanding aerial surveillance programs and building more detention facilities also seems to be high on the administration’s priority list.

The requests were made in a Dec. 5 meeting between Trump’s transition team and Department of Homeland Security officials, according to an internal agency memo reviewed by Reuters. The document offers a glimpse into the president-elect’s strategy for securing the U.S. borders and reversing polices put in place by the Obama administration.
