As promised during his campaign, President Donald Trump immediately launched an immigration crackdown – signing several executive orders related to border security, citizenship and refugees during his first days back in office.

He joins Soledad O’Brien to explain how the language used in those policies allows the president to tap into the military’s budget and carry out immigration enforcement operations more quickly.
