Stephen Miller, President-elect Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff of policy, joined Hannity on Tuesday evening where he discussed a wide range of topics including several of Trump's day one missions -- including recess appointments to his Cabinet.
Asked if some Cabinet appointments were to become troublesome if Trump would use the recess appointment process, Miller said he would.
"Yes, the president has won a mandate, and he will use all lawful constitutional means to fulfill that mandate on behalf of the people who voted for him in record numbers," Miller said.
Indicating that immigration will be a priority, Miller said mass deportations will occur immediately.
"It is going to be at light speed," Miller said. "The moment that President Trump puts his hand on that Bible and takes the oath of office, as he has said, the occupation ends, liberation day begins."
Miller added that Trump will "immediately sign executive orders sealing the border shut, beginning the largest deportation operation in American history, finding the criminal gangs, rapists, drug dealers and monsters that have murdered our citizens and sending them home."
