    In a proclamation dated January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency at the United States' southern border, citing threats from cartels, criminals, and illicit drugs. The proclamation directs the Armed Forces to assist in gaining full operational control of the border and authorizes the construction of physical barriers. It also calls for potential changes in regulations related to unmanned aerial systems and the revocation of a previous proclamation terminating an emergency at the border. Furthermore, the Department of Defense and Homeland Security are required to report on actions taken and the border's status within a specified timeframe.

    Simple Explanation

    President Trump said there's a big problem at the southern border with bad guys and illegal stuff coming in, so he wants the army to help and new fences to be built to keep things safe. Some people are worried this might cost too much money and make the rules too loose.

    In Proclamation 10142, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. terminated the national emergency regarding the southern border of the United States that was declared in 2019. The proclamation directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to pause construction on the border wall and halt the use of funds for it. They must also review the legality and consequences of the wall projects and develop a plan within 60 days to redirect funds and possibly terminate contracts for wall construction. The proclamation clarifies that the term "wall" refers to a contiguous physical barrier along the border.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden decided not to keep building the big wall on the southern border anymore, and he wants to use the money planned for the wall on other things instead. The people in charge need to stop building for now and figure out what to do next in the next two months.
