Text of a Notice on the Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to the Southern Border of the United States
IMMIGRATION
Issued on: January 16, 2021

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.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla today issued a statement following discussions with legal counsel for the California Republican Party. This comes after the Attorney General and Secretary of State sent a cease and desist order to the California Republican Party following reports of unauthorized drop boxes being operated in Fresno, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla, Governor Gavin Newsom, and Attorney General Xavier Becerra held a press conference in Sacramento to react to the US Supreme Court's ruling blocking the Trump Administration’s attempt to include a citizenship question on the 2020 Census.
Padilla was named to fill and serve the remainder of Harris' US Senate term, which ends with the 2022 election. Padilla will be California's first Latino senator.
On February 13, 2019 California Secretary of State Alex Padilla testified at a US House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee hearing entitled "Defending Our Democracy: Building Partnerships to Protect America’s Elections."
President-elect Joe Biden announced California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) as his nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services on Dec. 8.

>Newsom’s choice will also reveal a lot about his priorities as he eyes re-election, since his appointee, presumably, will appear alongside him on the ballot in 2022. Among those rumored to be in the mix are U.S. representatives Ted Lieu, Katie Porter, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell; state lawmakers Rob Bonta, Lorena Gonzalez, and Scott Wiener; Becton, the Contra Costa County DA; San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera and Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg; and Goodwin Liu, an Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court.
