Border security was a central part of President-elect Trump's 2024 campaign
FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE -- President-elect Trump on Monday will order the deployment of U.S. troops to the southern border, stamp out Biden-era parole policies and designate international cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations -- in a slew of nearly a dozen executive orders designed to drastically overhaul U.S. border and immigration policy.
Fox News obtained exclusive details of three of the expected 10 executive orders Trump will sign related to border security and immigration after he is inaugurated.
In one order, Trump will immediately direct the federal government to resume construction of the border wall, which was largely ended under the Biden administration. That order will also end Biden-era parole policies, including the use of the CBP One app to parole migrants into the U.S., and the parole processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans (CHNV) -- under which 30,000 nationals a month were allowed to fly in and be admitted under parole. Nearly 1.5 million migrants have been allowed in under CHNV and CBP One.
The order will also order government agencies to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), known as the Remain-in-Mexico policy. That Trump-era policy, ended by the Biden administration, required migrants to stay in Mexico for the duration of their asylum hearings.
A second order will order U.S. troops to be deployed to the border under U.S. Northern Command and will "instruct the military to prioritize our own borders and territorial integrity in strategic planning for its operations." It will direct the military to prioritize U.S. border and territorial integrity in strategic planning.
The Secretary of Defense will be required to provide a Unified Command Plan and military resources will be integrated with federal law enforcement and intelligence "to ensure seamless operations and maximum effectiveness," according to a fact sheet on the order.
