The proclamation declares TdA is perpetrating an invasion of the United States, engaging in hostile actions and irregular warfare.

It orders the immediate apprehension, detention, and removal of all Venezuelan citizens 14 years or older who are TdA members within the US and are not naturalized or lawful permanent residents.

The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security are tasked with executing this directive, seizing related property, and establishing regulations to ensure public safety.

The proclamation emphasizes the President's constitutional authority to protect the US from this perceived invasion.
