This evening, the President has proclaimed a national emergency at the southern border and signed an executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens, a right currently protected by the 14th Amendment. The national emergency status authorizes the deployment of military and National Guard resources to the border. Additionally, the President hinted that mass deportations could commence imminently.
In related developments, reports indicate that several immigration court officials, including the acting head of the immigration court system, were dismissed today. This move signals a stronger immigration enforcement stance as the President seeks to implement more rigorous policies than during his first term.
In front of a packed crowd, he emphasized a return to what he termed the “golden age of America” while signing multiple executive orders, including one that designates drug cartels as terrorist organizations. His actions also included revoking measures taken by the Biden administration, notably reinstating a control on a border appointment app that facilitated migrant entries, resulting in the cancellation of hundreds of appointments across eight southwestern border ports.
Moreover, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced the installation of more barriers in the Rio Grande, marking a clear shift in policy from the previous administration’s approach. Large-scale deportation raids are reportedly set to begin this week, with Chicago indicated as one of the initial target areas by the President’s new border czar.
