Original Date Announced

President Trump signs an executive order (EO) expanding the scope of the national emergency declared on January 20, 2025 (see Proc. 10886: "Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States") to "cover the failure of Mexico to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept" drug trafficking activities at the U.S.-Mexico border. The order invokes the National Emergencies Act (NEA) and International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose "an additional 25 percent ad valorem rate of duty" on Mexican products imported to the U.S. The order also directs DOS, DOJ, DHS, and NSA to "regularly consult . . . on the situation at our southern border" and report to the President on actions Mexico takes to "alleviate the illegal migration and illicit drug crisis."
