Excerpt: “Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order invoking the National Emergencies Act regarding the crisis at the Southern Border of the United States. The Executive Order declares a national emergency at the southern border following four years of record-shattering illegal immigration into the U.S. It directs the Secretary of Defense to deploy additional personnel to the border, including members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard. Additionally, it directs the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to finish the wall along the southern border and ensures that DHS has all the flexibility it needs to operate air missions near the border.”
