                Notice of February 13, 2020

                
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 the security 
                of the American people. 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, 2020. 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.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    February 13, 2020.
