In this lengthy executive order, Trump calls for immediate removal of those in the United States without legal status. He orders agencies to enforce removal orders, criminalize unauthorized entry into the U.S., extend the Department of Homeland Security’s presence in all 50 states, and construct detention facilities for those awaiting removal proceedings. The order also calls for civil fines in addition to removal and cuts federal funding from “sanctuary jurisdictions.
This order commands agencies to pursue more stringent vetting and screening procedures for people immigrating to the United States, seeking a visa or applying for refugee status. It foreshadows the suspension of all immigration from certain countries and encourages immediate removal of non-U.S. citizens, within agency discretion. The order also calls for assimilating new immigrants by promoting a “unified American identity.”
This executive order proposes a joint state and federal effort to cease and prevent future immigration at the southern border. Trump orders agencies to construct a physical barrier, deploy federal law enforcement personnel to the southern border and aggressively pursue criminal prosecutions for those who violate the law while in the United States.
This order denies citizenship to certain U.S.-born children whose parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. President Trump asserts these children are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction and therefore not covered by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.
