President Donald Trump is expected to sign 11 executive orders today aimed at tightening border security and overhauling immigration policies. According to incoming White House officials and reports from Fox News, the orders include declaring a national emergency at the southern border, deploying additional U.S. troops to the border under NORTHCOM, and directing the Department of Defense to complete the construction of the border wall. The administration plans to terminate mass parole programs implemented during the Biden administration, such as the CBP One app and migrant flights from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Additionally, Trump intends to suspend refugee resettlement for at least four months, end asylum for immigrants entering illegally, eliminate birthright citizenship, and designate drug cartels as global terrorist organizations.
