On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border through Executive Orders, describing it as a response to an “invasion.” His administration reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” policy, requiring applicants entering the U.S. from Mexico to stay there until their applications are processed. Additionally, an asylum program for those fleeing authoritarian regimes in Central and South America was halted, leaving many stranded in Mexico.
