Directs the heads of executive departments and agencies to review all funding provided to NGOs and align future funding decisions with the interests of the United States and the goals of the Trump-Vance administration.

This Order declares a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to designate certain international cartels and other organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or Specially Designated Global Terrorists.  The Order also requires the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to make operational preparations to invoke the Alien Enemies Act in relation to the “qualifying invasion or predatory incursion” against the U.S. by these organization and to prepare facilities to expedite the removal of those designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations or Specially Designated Global Terrorists under the Order.

Effective February 19, 2025, no department or agency of the U.S. government shall issue documents recognizing U.S. citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize U.S. citizenship, to persons when their mother was unlawfully present in the U.S. and their father was not a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident at the time of their birth; or when their mother’s presence in the U.S. was temporary, including when visiting the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa, and their father was not a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident at the time of their birth.

This Order directs the Secretary of Defense to deliver a revision to the Unified Command Plan assigning United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) the mission of sealing the borders of the United States for the purpose of “repelling forms of invasion, including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”

This Order directs the Secretary of Defense to order as many units of the Armed Forces as he determines appropriate, including the Ready Reserve and the National Guard, to support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security in obtaining complete operational control of the southern border. The Secretary of Defense is also directed to provide detention space, transportation—including aircraft—and other logistical services in support of border enforcement operations. The Order directs construction of additional physical barriers along the southern border, in coordination with any governor of a state willing to assist.
