US President Donald Trump signs an order calling for the building of a wall along the Mexican border.
The order will enable construction of "a large physical barrier on the southern border," spokesman Sean Spicer said.
The measure will also bolster resources for border security agents, increase detention space for illegal immigrants and ensure people are deported.
Trump also signed a second executive order to address law enforcement surrounding unauthorized immigrants, including stripping federal grant money from so-called "sanctuary cities" and states who have vowed not to enforce US immigration laws.
