"On February 15, 2019, President Trump declared a national emergency under the National Emergencies
Act to aid in the construction of physical barriers along the U.S. border with Mexico. Besides raising
questions about whether a national emergency declaration can facilitate the construction of such barriers
(a topic discussed in a related Sidebar), the declaration has also prompted more general interest in the
National Emergencies Act, including in other emergencies declared under the Act that are currently in
effect.
This Sidebar—the second of a two-part series identifying declarations issued under the National
Emergencies Act, provides a Table identifying national emergency declarations that are no longer in
effect as of February 15, 2019 (the companion Sidebar, identifying declarations that remain in effect, can
be found here). The Table also lists statutory authorities cited to support the initial Executive Order or
Presidential Proclamation, along with statutory authorities expressly cited in those documents as the legal
basis for actions taken in response to the declared emergency. Finally, the Table identifies the executive
action that ended the declared emergency.."
