Under that rule, people who apply to enter the United States at the Mexican border were not allowed to enter the country until their application had been decided.
“We’re going to… reinstate Remain in Mexico and build the wall,” she said.
Kelly said Trump would also seek to use the death penalty against non-citizens who commit capital crimes, such as murder.
“This is about national security. This is about public safety, and this is about the victims of some of the most violent, abusive criminals we’ve seen enter our country in our lifetime, and it ends today,” she said.

Many of Trump’s executive actions taken during his first term were rescinded under Joe Biden, including one using so-called Title 42, which was implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic preventing almost all entry to the country on public health grounds.
The changes under Biden led to an influx of people crossing into the United States, and images of thousands of people packing the border area.
Trump and his allies characterized this as Biden’s “open border” policy, and spoke regularly of an “invasion.”
The incoming president frequently invoked dark imagery about how illegal migration was “poisoning the blood” of the nation, words that were seized upon by opponents as reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
