Federal Register, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, Executive Order 14159, January 20, 2025
An expanded immigration policy setting protocol for more total and efficient enforcement of removal of illegal aliens (i.e., expedited removal), hiring increases for ICE and CBP, increasing federal criminal prosecutions for immigration offenses, and denying funding to sanctuary jurisdictions. Calls to review/audit all contracts providing services or funding to organizations dedicated to illegal immigrants; also calls on Secretary of Homeland Security to establish more contracts dedicated to facilities for detaining illegal immigrants.
From the Order:
Section 1. Purpose. Over the last 4 years, the prior administration invited, administered, and oversaw an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration into the United States. Millions of illegal aliens crossed our borders or were permitted to fly directly into the United States on commercial flights and allowed to settle in American communities, in violation of longstanding Federal laws.
Many of these aliens unlawfully within the United States present significant threats to national security and public safety, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans. Others are engaged in hostile activities, including espionage, economic espionage, and preparations for terror-related activities. Many have abused the generosity of the American people, and their presence in the United States has cost taxpayers billions of dollars at the Federal, State, and local levels.
Enforcing our Nation's immigration laws is critically important to the national security and public safety of the United States. The American people deserve a Federal Government that puts their interests first and a Government that understands its sacred obligation to prioritize the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans.
This order ensures that the Federal Government protects the American people by faithfully executing the immigration laws of the United States.
