The memos don?t cover Trump?s Jan. 27 ban on the entry of foreign travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, which was halted by an federal appeals court.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a pair of memos on Tuesday enacting President Donald Trump?s orders.
The Trump administration said it will try to deport almost all undocumented immigrants caught in the U.S., hire thousands more border patrol and immigration agents and begin building a wall along the Mexican border, enacting an immigration crackdown the president ordered on Jan. 25.
"Trump ran for president on promises to crack down on undocumented immigrants, some of whom he has described as competing with lawful U.S. residents for jobs and contributing to rising crime in some cities.
A revised version of the travel ban will be issued "very soon," Trump said in remarks at the National African American Museum, which he toured in Washington Tuesday morning.
