Presidential Notice 10886

Notice on Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States

This notice extends an existing national emergency declaration at the southern border by invoking 10 U.S.C. 12302 for the Secretary of Homeland Security, specifically authorizing recall of Coast Guard Ready Reserve members to support maritime border security. The action builds on Proclamation 10886 from January 20, 2025, which originally invoked the same statute for military department secretaries.
