Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump wasted no time in making good on many of his campaign promises related to the divisive issue of immigration to the United States. He did this by issuing a series of Executive Orders (EOs). His first two, both issued on January 25, were "Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements" and "Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States".
This analysis is the second in a series that examines the president's EOs, and considers the companion to the border control EO, "Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States", which deals with public safety in the interior of the United States.
Section 1 outlines the purpose of the executive order: "to direct executive departments and agencies ... to employ all lawful means to enforce the immigration laws [in the interior] of the United States."
