This Proclamation, issued by President Donald J. Trump, officially establishes March 9, 2026, as U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day, honoring Americans unjustly held abroad and reaffirming commitment to their safe return.

The document celebrates the recent release of 101 detained Americans and announces that a new Executive Order to combat wrongful detention abroad has been signed, which grants the Secretary of State authority to designate foreign countries as State Sponsors of Wrongful Detention, with Iran being the first recipient of this designation.

This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump on March 7, 2026, formally declares the administration's sustained commitment to dismantling cartels and foreign terrorist organizations operating in the Western Hemisphere, referencing the establishment of the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition.

The proclamation directs that these criminal entities must be demolished to the fullest extent possible consistent with law, mandates coordination with allies to strip them of financing and resources, commits the U.S. to training and mobilizing partner nation militaries, and calls for keeping external threats, including malign foreign influences, outside the region.

This Presidential Action establishes a firm policy to protect Americans from cybercrime, fraud, and predatory schemes often orchestrated by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs), sometimes with state sponsorship.

The order directs several key agencies to review existing frameworks and develop an action plan within 120 days to disrupt and dismantle these TCOs, necessitating the creation of an operational cell within the National Coordination Center (NCC).

Furthermore, it mandates recommendations for a Victim Restoration Program using seized funds and requires the Secretary of State to engage diplomatically to compel foreign nations to curb such criminal activity or face U.S. consequences.

This Presidential Proclamation, issued by Donald J. Trump, designates February 22, 2026, as National Angel Family Day to honor Americans killed by undocumented immigrants and victims of fentanyl trafficking.

The document strongly reaffirms a commitment to aggressive immigration enforcement, citing specific, tragic crimes allegedly committed by undocumented individuals, the signing of the Laken Riley Act, and recent success in reducing border crossings.

The proclamation also calls upon Congress to pass Kate's Law and urges public officials to end lawlessness related to immigration and drug flow.

The President issues an order to continue suspending the duty-free *de minimis* exemption under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for all shipments, including those entering through the international postal network.

This action revises Executive Order 14324 following notification that systems are in place to collect duties, ensuring that applicable duties related to prior national emergency declarations concerning trade imbalances and illicit trade continue to be assessed and collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on imports otherwise exempt.

This presidential action terminates the additional *ad valorem* duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) via nine specific prior Executive Orders that addressed perceived national emergencies related to illicit drug flows across U.S. borders, specific trade deficits, and perceived threats from China, Venezuela, Brazil, the Russian Federation, Cuba, and Iran.

The order directs executive agencies to immediately cease the collection of these specific tariffs as soon as practicable, while explicitly stating that the underlying national emergencies declared in those original orders remain in effect, and other non-tariff actions are unaffected.

This Presidential Action, issued on February 6, 2026, establishes a policy to protect U.S. welfare and security by enhancing the ability of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to access Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) maintained by Federal criminal justice agencies, specifically the Department of Justice. Furthermore, the action authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to exchange CHRI concerning felony convictions with vetted foreign partners, such as Visa Waiver Program countries, on a reciprocal basis solely for border security and immigration screening purposes, ensuring all exchanges are governed by agreements that safeguard individual privacy.

The President declared a national emergency, citing the Government of Cuba's alignment with hostile entities like Russia and Iran, hosting foreign intelligence facilities, supporting transnational terrorist groups, and perpetrating human rights abuses against its populace.

Based on this determination, which invokes the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the order establishes a mechanism to impose additional *ad valorem* tariffs on goods imported from any foreign country that directly or indirectly sells or provides oil to Cuba, with implementation and monitoring delegated primarily to the Secretaries of Commerce and State.
