A briefing document provides an early glimpse into the practical application of Trump’s executive orders on immigration and the border.

More is coming, but many directives will take time to be implemented or will face political, legal or practical obstacles.

The Trump administration has essentially eliminated the ability to pursue asylum at the border, attempting to erase by executive order a right established in U.S. and international law. The restrictions leave migrants who claim they fear for their lives almost no path toward safety in the United States.

The Pentagon said Wednesday it has begun deploying 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border, putting in motion plans President Donald Trump laid out in executive orders shortly after he took office to crack down on immigration.

The U.S. military will send 1,500 additional active-duty troops to the border with Mexico, the White House said on Wednesday, just two days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on immigration.

The U.S. Pentagon is sending an additional 1,500 active-duty troops to the southern border by the end of the week, a senior U.S. military official told Fox News.
