(NewsNation) — President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order addressing immigration and border security on Tuesday, a border community leader told NewsNation.
The community leader, who requested anonymity, told NewsNation that the White House has been contacting mayors of border cities about potentially attending the announcement.
Multiple outlets have reported that Biden is preparing to take executive action on immigration this week, though the White House referred NewsNation to previous comments that it is always evaluating options but no final decision has been made.
The anticipated order comes as Biden faces mounting criticism from both parties over the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, with record numbers of migrant encounters straining federal resources.
Details of what policies the order may include remain unclear, but it could aim to further crack down on illegal border crossings.
