Destructive house fire in Great Neck leaves 2 injured; cat and ferret missingWall Street welcomed President-elect Donald Trump back to New York. Trump is weighing in on a number of campaign promises in the latest issue of Time magazine, where he was just named their Person of the Year. He is offering a new view on inflation and highlighting an immediate priority once he takes office.
In the magazine's cover story, Trump vowed to make good on his campaign promise to deport more than 11 million undocumented immigrants, using law enforcement and potentially the military.
Federal law prevents the military from being used against civilians, but Trump warned, quote, "I will go up to the maximum level of what the law allows."
He also weighed in on his promise to curb inflation, acknowledging it may be difficult to lower the cost of groceries.
Just over a month until his inauguration, a top priority is also taking shape. The president-elect says possibly within minutes of taking office, he plans to pardon most of the January 6 rioters.

We Follow Through: A man's journey from prison to purpose
A local man is working to turn his life around after being released from prison one year later. Ronald Davis is 45 years old now, but when he was 18, back in the late 90s, he was sentenced to 80 years in prison for a string of robberies across Hampton Roads. He did not kill or injure anyone.
News 3's Jessica Larche began reporting on efforts to get him out of prison back in 2020. Community outcry followed, with support from state leaders calling his sentence excessive.
Before Governor Ralph Northam left office in 2022, he set a December 2023 release date for Davis, ending Davis' time served at 26 years.
One year since his release from prison, Larche is following through, revealing what Davis is doing with his second chance.
Ronald Davis' road to redemption is filled with faith in God, faith in his family and faith for forgiveness.
