Southern Border National Emergency Extended Indefinitely

## Summary

The President is keeping the national emergency at the southern U.S. border going because cartels, gangs, and smugglers are still causing big problems. This affects the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, focusing on stopping illegal drugs, human trafficking, and unvetted people crossing the border. The emergency status means special powers stay active to protect national security and the economy, with no end date yet and ongoing efforts to hold neighboring countries accountable.
