On January 22, the White House summarized President Trump's recent actions regarding the U.S.-Mexico border. Since taking office on Monday, Trump has issued a series of executive orders to curb illegal immigration and pursue the deportation of undocumented immigrants. Immigration was a central theme of his election campaign.
The White House released details of an order signed by Trump on his first day in office, emphasizing the administration's commitment to border security. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated in an interview on Fox News, "President Trump is using every lever of his executive power to secure our nation's borders. This is the number one promise that he made to the American people on the campaign trail."
