Declaring A National Emergency At The Southern Border Of The United States

President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency at the U.S. southern border, citing threats from cartels, criminal gangs, and illicit narcotics. This action authorizes the deployment of military resources to assist the Department of Homeland Security in securing the border, including constructing additional barriers and potentially using drones. The move, which revokes a prior termination of such an emergency, may face legal challenges and political debate over the use of military forces in civil matters and the potential invocation of the Insurrection Act.
