Summary
Donald Trump, in his first speech after taking office for his second term, outlined a series of executive orders focused on strict immigration policies. These include mobilizing troops to the southern border, declaring a national emergency to reduce illegal immigration, and designating Mexican drug cartels and criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. Trump also plans to end the "Catch and Release" policy, tighten residency requirements from five to fourteen years, and revoke asylum rights, which had already been limited under the Biden administration. He intends to pause refugee resettlement for four months and possibly reintroduce a controversial travel ban on certain countries.

Trump's administration also aims to revive the "Remain in Mexico" program, which forced migrants to wait in Mexico while their cases were processed in U.S. courts. The president's plans may lead to tensions with Mexico, especially with his proposal to label drug cartels as terrorist organizations, potentially paving the way for U.S. military intervention in Mexico.

Despite these hardline measures, illegal border crossings have decreased significantly, with fewer than 100,000 crossings recorded in December, the lowest in three years. However, Trump's aggressive immigration strategy is expected to face legal challenges and opposition.
