                                      Washington, January 15, 2021.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: Section 202(d) of the National 
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic 
termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days 
before the anniversary date of its declaration, the President 
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress 
a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect 
beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, 
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the 
enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with 
respect to the southern border of the United States declared in 
Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019, is to continue in 
effect beyond February 15, 2021.
    The ongoing border security and humanitarian crisis at the 
southern border of the United States continues to threaten our 
national security, including by exacerbating the effect of the 
pandemic caused by COVID-19. The executive branch has taken 
steps to address the crisis, but further action is needed to 
address the humanitarian crisis and to control unlawful 
migration and the flow of narcotics and criminals across the 
southern border. For these reasons, I have determined that it 
is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in 
Proclamation 9844 concerning the southern border of the United 
States.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                 
                                 
                                 
                                 
                               Notice

                              ----------                              


  Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Southern 
                      Border of the United States

    On February 15, 2019, by Proclamation 9844, I declared a 
national emergency concerning the southern border of the United 
States to deal with the border security and humanitarian crisis 
that threatens core national security interests.
    The ongoing border security and humanitarian crisis at the 
southern border of the United States continues to threaten our 
national security, including by exacerbating the effect of the 
pandemic caused by COVID-19. The executive branch has taken 
steps to address the crisis, but further action is needed to 
address the humanitarian crisis and to control unlawful 
migration and the flow of narcotics and criminals across the 
southern border of the United States.
    For these reasons, the national emergency declared on 
February 15, 2019, and the measures adopted on that date to 
respond to that emergency, must continue in effect beyond 
February 15, 2021. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) 
of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am 
continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in 
Proclamation 9844 concerning the southern border of the United 
States.
    This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and 
transmitted to the Congress.

                                                   Donald J. Trump.
    The White House, January 15, 2021.

                                  
                                  
                                  [all]
