During Donald Trump’s inaugural address on Monday, he declared a national emergency at the southern border. On the first day back in office, Trump signed a number of executive orders on immigration that seek to end birthright citizenship and use military resources for Trump’s border policies. “This is a massive abuse of emergency power,” says Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “These emergency powers are intended to address sudden, unexpected crises … that are moving too quickly ... continua
