Guaranteeing The States Protection Against Invasion

On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation declaring the situation at the southern border as an "invasion," invoking his constitutional and statutory authority to suspend the entry of certain aliens into the United States. This proclamation aims to address national security, public health, and safety concerns by suspending the entry of individuals deemed to be part of this invasion until the situation is resolved. The action could face significant legal and political challenges, as it interprets the President’s powers broadly and may provoke debates over immigration policy and states' rights under the Constitution.
