President begins issuing flood of immigration-related executive orders after being sworn into office

Donald Trump on Monday began issuing a barrage of executive orders aimed at making good on his central campaign promise to crack down on immigration and unauthorized crossings at the US-Mexico border.

From the White House on Monday, Trump signed an order declaring a national emergency and paving the way to send US troops to the southern border. He also attempted an audacious move to redefine who gets to become an American under the US constitution.
