Protecting the American People Against Invasion
The order revokes four Biden administration executive orders on immigration enforcement and directs federal agencies to enforce immigration law against all removable aliens without the enforcement priorities and exemptions the prior administration had established.
It establishes Homeland Security Task Forces in every state, expands state and local immigration enforcement authority, immediately pauses federal funding to NGOs serving unauthorized immigrants, and threatens federal funding cutoffs to sanctuary jurisdictions.
What this order does
What it orders
The order revokes four Biden-era executive orders — EOs 13993, 14010, 14011, and 14012 — that shaped the prior administration's immigration enforcement framework, and directs all agencies to rescind any guidance, memoranda, or policies built on those orders. It instructs the Secretary of Homeland Security to enforce immigration law against all removable aliens, expand expedited removal procedures, build new detention facilities, expand 287(g) agreements authorizing state and local officers to perform immigration enforcement duties, and establish Homeland Security Task Forces in every state to target criminal cartels and transnational organizations.
The order also restricts parole authority, Temporary Protected Status designations, and employment authorization to strict statutory limits; directs immediate review and pause of federal funding to NGOs serving unauthorized immigrants; threatens funding cutoffs to sanctuary jurisdictions; directs collection of civil fines from unlawfully present aliens; and reestablishes a victims' services office within ICE. It includes a severability clause directing agencies to implement procedurally compliant alternatives if any provision is struck down.
Who it affects
Undocumented and removable immigrants throughout the United States; state and local law enforcement agencies eligible for 287(g) immigration enforcement authority; NGOs receiving federal grants to serve unauthorized immigrants; cities and counties with sanctuary policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities; and all federal agencies directed to enforce the order.
Why it matters
People living in the U.S. without legal status face more aggressive enforcement nationwide, including expanded expedited removal and increased detention. State and local governments with sanctuary policies risk losing federal funding. NGOs providing legal aid, shelter, or services to unauthorized immigrants face immediate funding pauses pending federal audit.
What must happen and when
How the order is supposed to work
Four Biden immigration EOs are void as of signing; agencies must revoke all related guidance without a fixed deadline. DHS leads most implementation, coordinating with DOJ on criminal enforcement and the State Department on diplomatic pressure for repatriation. Homeland Security Task Forces in every state report to a joint DOJ/DHS operational command center. NGO funding is paused immediately pending audit, with clawback authority available for agreements found in violation. A severability clause requires agencies to adopt procedural fixes if specific provisions are struck down by courts.
