From ordering the definition of birthright citizenship to declaring a national emergency at the border to stop illegal immigration, Trump has moved quickly to implement his campaign promises.
Earlier, Trump promised to tighten the US-Mexico border.
However, any order to change the definition of birthright citizenship is also likely to face legal challenges.
Earlier, Trump promised to reverse the Biden administration's "destructive" policies "within five minutes."
Hours earlier, thousands of immigration aspirants had their appointments cancelled. Because the new administration canceled the 'CBP ON' app. Through this app, you basically need to book in advance to enter through the border.
In his inaugural address, Trump promised to 'stop all illegal entry' and deport millions of 'illegal immigrants'.
He also signed an order designating Mexico's drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
Earlier in an event at Washington's Capital One Arena, Trump formally rescinded nearly 80 executive orders from the previous Biden administration, which he described as 'extremist'.
"My most important duty is to protect our country from threats and attacks," Trump said in his inaugural address on Capitol Hill.
As part of this, Trump administration officials said the president would order the Defense Department to "seal the border" and deploy additional personnel, drones and technology.
Earlier, Trump administration officials said the moves amounted to creating a 'common sense immigration policy'.
However, the details of the order are not yet known. But officials said Trump plans to end birthright citizenship. This means that the children of illegal immigrants living in the United States will no longer be considered U.S. citizens.
However, birthright citizenship is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress to change it.
That's why officials haven't elaborated on it, and Trump hasn't made it clear how he would implement it.
The Trump administration moved quickly to cancel the 'CBP On' mobile app. Migrants used to enter through the border through the use of this app
