President Donald Trump is set to declare a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border on his first day in office, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The move, expected to occur tomorrow, would allow the administration to redirect military funds toward border wall construction and potentially deploy military personnel to guard the border. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller indicated that Trump will sign an executive order to this effect, aiming to address what the administration views as an urgent situation at the southern border.
