President Donald Trump has promised swift action on immigration, asylum and border security as he takes office today.

President Trump on Monday signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, likely setting off a legal battle in the courts.

The president is making good on his campaign promise with attempts to beef up security at the border and limit immigration.

Migrants who waited months to cross the U.S. border with Mexico learned their CBP One appointments had been canceled moments after Donald Trump was sworn in as president.

President Donald Trump began his term by taking a series of sweeping immigration executive actions Monday that included declaring a national emergency at the US southern border, immediately ending use of a border app called CBP One that had allowed migrants to legally enter the United States,

The orders include declaring a national emergency to deploy military personnel to the border, suspending refugee resettlement and ending birthright citizenship.

President Donald Trump has shut down the CBP One app, which was designed to help migrants apply to enter the U.S. legally as asylum-seekers.

Illegal crossings at the southern border were lower in December 2024 than in December 2020, Border Patrol data showed.

Law enforcement agencies in Stockton and San Joaquin County said they would follow California law and would not help ICE with raids in the area.

In the first 48 hours of his second administration, President Trump’s string of executive orders on the border crisis began to turn the tide on illegal immigration.
