Donald Trump is back in the White House, and his second term is focused on immigration control. On his first day in office, he declared illegal immigration a national emergency and launched a crackdown. He ordered the US military to help secure the border and banned asylum. His January 20 executive order sent troops to take full control of the US-Mexico border. The military released footage showing Marines strengthening the border fence with metal beams and barbed wire to stop illegal immigration. As a result, around 1,500 migrants gathered outside the Mexican refugee office (COMAR) in Mexico City on January 27, demonstrating the impact of the new border security measures.
