During his presidential campaign, now-President Donald J. Trump promised to deploy deportation forces to remove all undocumented immigrants from this country. Five days after his inauguration, on Jan. 25, Trump issued Executive Order 13768 to deliver on his promise. That same day, Trump issued Executive Order 13767, which purported to fulfill his promise to “build the wall” along the southern border of the United States. Executive Order 13769 followed on Jan. 27, which instituted a travel ban halting all refugee admissions and temporarily stopping travel from seven majority Muslim countries.
Rationalizing the mission of mass deportation, Section 1 of the Executive Order 13768 states that: “Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety.”
