Southern Border

Did Trump just close the southern border to all foreign entrance with this order? It sure reads like closing the southern border using war powers.

If so, will be very interesting to see Mexicos response.

According to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), an alien is an individual who does not have U.S.citizenship and is not a U.S. national.

Yep, I could be wrong but I really think this is an executive order closing the southern border to non-national crossings. I would assume Mexico will consider returning the favor if that is indeed the case?

It feels like the whole use of “invasion” is to cover him legally, it seems to go out of its way to not specify only illegal crossings.

Sounds like an ILLEGAL!

Overly broad and physically unenforceable. Are the airports going to have to stop international flights

That would cover tourists as well. And anyone who works on the U.S. side but lives in Mexico

I agree on overly broad and the flights question….but as far as enforceable, couldn’t they close the ports of entry?

As written covers all persons from every country. This will be fun to see play out in the courts. I am guessing there will not be a stay enforced and SCOTUS, will let it run thru the hour glass like the sands of time.

There aren't enough people to close the entire border of the US from the "invasion" and closing down international flights and/or ports of entry is problematic in terms of international consequences. Logistics in this matter will cause a large economic issue and then throw in on top of that Mexico and Canada have every right to retaliate in kind.

Having said all that I say have at it Trump

LET.IT.BURN!!

So, you're saying that Mexico and Canada won't allow Americans to cross freely into their countries without identification and proper asylum claims?

Fort Campbell, KY – Soldiers from the 716th Military Police Battalion, part of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), departed Fort Campbell for the U.S. southern border on January 25th, 2025. Under the directive of U.S. Northern Command, the deployment aims to bolster support for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as they address challenges along the border.

This initial deployment includes 1,500 active-duty personnel, bringing the total Title 10 military forces stationed along the border to nearly 4,000. The additional troops will assist in operational efforts to secure the border, including enhancing logistical support and aiding CBP in non-law enforcement capacities. These activities aim to help alleviate strain on border personnel and improve the efficiency of ongoing border operations.

Lt. Col. Phillip Mason, commander of the 716th Military Police Battalion, expressed confidence in the readiness and professionalism of the deployed Soldiers. “Our team is fully trained and prepared to assist in this critical mission,” Mason said. “We are committed to supporting our federal partners in maintaining the safety and security of the United States.”

The Soldiers’ deployment comes amid increased attention on the southern border, highlighting the role of the military in providing additional capabilities during periods of heightened activity. While the mission is non-combative, the presence of military personnel aims to enhance resource coordination and provide much-needed support to CBP and DHS operations.

Fort Campbell leadership emphasized the importance of the 716th Military Police Battalion’s role in this deployment, noting the unit’s reputation for professionalism and excellence. This mission is an extension of the battalion’s commitment to serving both domestic and international needs, showcasing the adaptability and versatility of the 101st Airborne Division.

As the Soldiers step into their new assignment, their contributions are expected to play a significant role in addressing challenges at the southern border, further solidifying the partnership between military forces and civilian agencies in protecting the nation’s interests.
