Donald Trump announced his plans for a major crackdown on immigration at an inauguration rally the evening before his first day in office.
While the President-elect's last rally before returning to office included a number of promises on key voting issues, Trump relished the opportunity to dance along to the Village People's YMCA as he celebrated his victory at an event that felt as much like a party as a political address.
Donald Trump repeated his campaign pledge to drive the biggest deportation effort in American history - removing millions of immigrants from the US.
"By the time the sun sets tomorrow, the invasion of our country will have come to a halt," he declared to cheering crowds at a "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" event at the Capital One Arena.

It is likely that such a massive pledge would likely take many years to see the full effects carried out, as well as extremely expensive.
"This is the greatest political movement in American history, and 75 days ago, we achieved the most epic political victory our country has ever seen," he said.
"Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed of strength and fix every single crisis facing our country."
Trump's rally yesterday evening included a long list of claims, boasts and promises to America, which were welcomed with utter joy by his supporters.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
The jovial rally was his first major speech in DC since his speech ahead of the storming of the Capitol on January 6 four years ago by a furious mob of his supporters - many of whom Trump said that he would pardon once in office.
An insider, closely involved with the planning, claimed that the President-elect would sign more than 200 executive orders today.
He pledged to repeal "every radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration" as soon as he is sworn in at noon ET (5pm in the UK).
Border security will feature heavily in such actions, according to another source, and will include the classification of drug cartels as "foreign terrorist organisations".

Trump has also promised to release classified documents on the assassinations of President Kennedy in 1963, as well as his brother Senator Robert Kennedy and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr in 1968.
The President-elect was also accompanied by his closest allies, including X chief Elon Musk, as well as the billionaire's four-year-old son, as Trump introduced the crowds to the leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).
Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos will join Musk in attending the inauguration later today, which had to be moved inside due to the sub-zero temperatures.
The event will mark the first inauguration to be held inside since Ronald Reagan's presidency.
