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

U.S. officials say the Pentagon will begin deploying as many as 1,500 active duty troops to help secure the southern border in the coming days.

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.

A United States Border Patrol agent was gunned down during a traffic stop in Vermont near the Canadian border, officials have confirmed. It happened around 3:15 p.m. Monday on Interstate 91 in Coventry, 20 miles from the Northern border, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

After a border patrol agent was shot and killed during an incident near the Canadian Border in Vermont on Monday, local law enforcement, state officials and the Border Patrol itself issued statements in the wake of the tragic incident.
