“Donald Trump’s second inaugural address, and the subsequent executive orders on immigration he issued Monday, paint a picture of the border that is detached from reality. The newly sworn-in president cast the nation’s outgoing leadership as having failed to defend American citizens when it provided sanctuary for (what he deemed) dangerous criminals, many of whom arrived from ‘mental institutions’ across the border. Trump then declared a national emergency, allowing the secretary of defense to send military forces to the southern border, which his aides said was necessary to protect the sovereignty of the United States. But Trump wasn’t done there.” (01/21/25)
