Washington — President Trump invoked muscular presidential powers to begin a sweeping crackdown on immigration following his inauguration on Monday, tasking the military with border enforcement, moving to designate cartels and gangs as terrorist groups, shutting down asylum and refugee admissions and attempting to terminate birthright citizenship.

Donald Trump is considering sending 10,000 troops to the US-Mexico border as part of a huge immigration crackdown, according to a leaked internal memo. As part of his promise to tackle the issue of illegal immigrants coming into America from the South, the newly returned President has already pledged to continue building the border wall.
