The president’s Day 1 actions included directives that fly in the face of legal limits on involving the military in domestic operations and the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.
President Trump’s flurry of executive actions on immigration in the hours after taking office was the leading edge of an effort to roll back four years of policies put in place by the Biden administration and reimpose an agenda that would fundamentally upend the United States’ global role as a sanctuary for refugees and immigrants.
In a series of orders he signed on Monday evening, Mr. Trump moved to seal the nation’s borders against migrants and systematically crack down on undocumented immigrants already in the United States, part of a policy barrage that included a national emergency declaration to deploy the military to the border and a bid to cut off birthright citizenship for the children of noncitizens.
While some of the orders were likely to face steep legal challenges and might be difficult or impossible to enforce, the directives sent an unmistakable message that Mr. Trump was serious about fulfilling his frequent campaign promises of clamping down on the border, and escalating an anti-immigration agenda that he has made the centerpiece of his political identity.
“With these actions we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense,” Mr. Trump said from the Capitol Rotunda after taking his oath of office. “All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

It’s better to dare them to stop you than to ask for permission.
ICE...police...sheriffs and military back up.
Has anyone working at the New York Times ever read the constitution?
The closest thing to a Supreme Court ruling on this subject was United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). The Supreme Court gave Wong citizenship even though his parents weren't citizens but were legal residents.
The current in vogue interpretation where kids whose mother illegally entered the country are granted citizenship if they were born here is a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment.
