En virtud de la autoridad que me confieren como Presidente la Constitución y las leyes de los Estados Unidos de América, por la presente proclamo:

La soberanía de Estados Unidos está bajo ataque. Nuestra frontera sur está invadida por cárteles, bandas criminales, terroristas conocidos, traficantes de personas, contrabandistas, hombres en edad militar no investigados provenientes de adversarios extranjeros y narcóticos ilícitos que dañan a los estadounidenses, incluido Estados Unidos.

Esta invasión ha causado un caos generalizado y sufrimiento en nuestro país durante los últimos cuatro años. Ha llevado a los asesinatos horribles e inexcusables de muchos ciudadanos estadounidenses inocentes, incluidos mujeres y niños, a manos de inmigrantes ilegales. Las bandas criminales y los cárteles extranjeros han comenzado a tomar el control de partes de las ciudades, atacando a nuestros ciudadanos más vulnerables y aterrorizando a los estadounidenses más allá del control de las fuerzas de seguridad locales. Los cárteles controlan vastos territorios justo al sur de nuestra frontera sur, controlando efectivamente quién puede y quién no puede viajar a los Estados Unidos desde México. Cientos de miles de estadounidenses han muerto trágicamente por sobredosis de drogas debido a los narcóticos ilícitos que han cruzado la frontera sur.

Este ataque al pueblo estadounidense y a la integridad de las fronteras soberanas de Estados Unidos representa una grave amenaza para nuestra nación.

Debido a la gravedad y emergencia de este peligro actual y amenaza inminente, es necesario que las Fuerzas Armadas tomen todas las medidas apropiadas para ayudar al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional a obtener el control operativo total de la frontera sur.

Para proteger la seguridad y protección de los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos, para proteger a cada uno de los Estados contra invasiones y para cumplir con mi deber de asegurar que las leyes se ejecuten fielmente, es mi responsabilidad como Presidente asegurar que el ingreso ilegal de extranjeros a los Estados Unidos a través de la frontera sur se detenga de inmediato y por completo.

Como Comandante en Jefe, no tengo deber más solemne que proteger al pueblo estadounidense.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States, and that section 12302 of title 10, United States Code, is invoked and made available, according to its terms, to the Secretaries of the military departments concerned, subject to the direction of the Secretary of Defense.  To provide additional authority to the Department of Defense to support the Federal Government’s response to the emergency at the southern border, I hereby declare that this emergency requires use of the Armed Forces and, in accordance with section 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1631), that the construction authority provided in section 2808 of title 10, United States Code, is invoked and made available, according to its terms, to the Secretary of Defense and, at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, to the Secretaries of the military departments.  I hereby direct as follows:

Sec. 4.  Revision of Policies and Strategies.  The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall take all appropriate action, consistent with law, to prioritize the impedance and denial of the unauthorized physical entry of aliens across the southern border of the United States, and to ensure that use of force policies prioritize the safety and security of Department of Homeland Security personnel and of members of the Armed Forces.

Sec. 5.  Revocation.  Proclamation 10142 of January 20, 2021 (Termination of Emergency With Respect to the Southern Border of the United States and Redirection of Funds Diverted to Border Wall Construction), is hereby revoked.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
