Executive Order 13767, titled
Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements, was issued by
United States President Donald Trump on January 25, 2017.
The order directs a wall, colloquially called the "
Trump wall", to be built along the
Mexico–United States border. On December 22, 2018, the federal government went into
a shutdown due to Trump's demand for $5.6 billion in federal funds to begin work on the wall. By January 12, 2019, the shutdown became the longest budget shutdown in U.S. history.
