It’s part of Title 8 but I can find the specific part of it that goes into Presidential powers in case of a national emergency.
*CAN’T find*
I just re-read Pompeo’s State Department press release, and the gal head of DHS (can’t spell her name) as well as Trump, keep mention people being victimized (ie human trafficking) as well as Bad Men.
Perfect opening for utilizing the Dec. 21 2017 EO.

Migrant Caravan
Press Statement
Michael R. Pompeo
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
October 21, 2018
The United States is closely following the migrant caravan, in which thousands of migrants from Honduras and other countries continue to make a dangerous journey through Guatemala and into Mexico. Many migrants are attempting to transit these countries and in the process are violating their sovereignty, their laws, and their procedures. As President Trump has stated, consistent with U.S. law, the United States will not allow illegal immigrants to enter or remain in the United States.
We are concerned that these migrants may be victimized by human smugglers or others who would exploit them. We also are deeply concerned by the violence provoked by some members of the group, as well as the apparent political motivation of some organizers of the caravan.
We understand Mexico will detain and repatriate migrants who enter Mexico in violation of Mexican law, and in instances where migrants apply for asylum, process the requests in accordance with Mexican law. We also understand that those who do not qualify will be returned in a safe and orderly process, consistent with Mexican law.
We welcome the Government of Mexico’s collaboration with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) to address refugee and migration issues in the region, including the influx of people arriving in Mexico. The United States stands ready to assist the Government of Mexico in this effort.
