Trump Declares National Emergency at U.S.-Mexico Border, Plans to Deploy Military with 10 Executive Orders Amid Biden's Chaos
Jan 20, 2025, 05:21 PM
President Donald Trump, on his first day in office, has declared a national emergency at the U.S. southern border with Mexico. This declaration is part of a broader initiative to address illegal immigration, with Trump announcing plans to send additional armed forces to secure the border. The move aims to halt all illegal entry immediately and initiate the process of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants. Furthermore, Trump has designated criminal cartels as global terrorists, signaling an intent to use military forces to combat drug trafficking and other related crimes at the border. This action follows Trump's campaign promises to crack down on illegal crossings and enhance border security. Trump is expected to sign 10 executive orders to support these efforts, a response to what he describes as widespread chaos at the border during the Biden administration.
