Trump Signs Executive Order Declaring National Emergency at Southern Border, Plans Military Deployment and Wall Construction
Jan 20, 2025, 05:21 PM
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declaring a national emergency at the southern border of the United States. This action follows his inaugural address where he announced plans to halt all illegal entry immediately and begin the process of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. Trump's administration aims to intensify efforts against illegal immigration, with plans to deploy military personnel to the border and resume construction of the border wall. The declaration of a national emergency is part of a broader set of 10 executive orders aimed at reshaping U.S. immigration policy, including ending the asylum process, reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, and challenging birthright citizenship. These moves are expected to face immediate legal challenges.
