President Trump points to Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(f) allowing immigration suspension as his administration intensifies immigration enforcement actions.
President Trump on Saturday pointed to a federal law that grants the president broad authority to restrict immigration, just days after unveiling a sweeping new immigration agenda.
In a Truth Social post, Trump highlighted Section 212(f) of the „Immigration and Nationality Act“, which allows the president to „suspend the entry“ of non-U.S. citizens whenever it is deemed „detrimental“ to the national interest.
„Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate“, Trump wrote, quoting the law.
