This order abuses the National Emergencies Act and further perpetuates an "invasion" myth. This order formally declares an emergency at the southern border pursuant to sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act. By doing so, the order authorizes the Department of Defense (DoD) to send active duty military troops, reservists, and National Guard members to the southern border to support Department of Homeland Security (DHS) activities, including by providing detention facilities and transportation. The order also directs the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to build more of the border wall. It directs Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to consider waiving certain rules to allow DHS to target drones near the border. Finally, it instructs the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, to prioritize preventing immigrants from crossing the border and to deprioritize the physical safety of migrants in interactions with DHS agents and members of the Armed Forces.
