Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Friday after President Trump announced a series of executive actions related to the security of our southern border.

"My initial assessment is that what President Trump announced is legal," Sen. Lee said. "Whether or not it should be legal is a different matter. Congress has been ceding far too much power to the executive branch for decades. We should use this moment as an opportunity to start taking that power back."
