President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders since his second inauguration on January 20, 2025, focusing on several key areas:

Immigration and Border Security:

  • Declared a national emergency at the southern border, deploying additional troops to support immigration enforcement.
  • Ended birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants, aiming to reinterpret the 14th Amendment.
  • Revived the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, requiring asylum seekers to stay in Mexico during U.S. immigration proceedings.
  • Terminated the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to schedule appointments at U.S. ports of entry.
  • Designated drug cartels and certain migrant gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, invoking the Alien Enemies Act for potential deportation.

    • Environmental and Energy Policies:

    • Withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, marking a second withdrawal under his administration.
    • Declared a national energy emergency to promote domestic energy production by easing regulations.
    • Revoked protections for offshore wind projects, initiating a review of federal wind leasing practices.

      • Government and Federal Workforce:

      • Reintroduced Schedule F, stripping job protections from certain federal employees to facilitate their removal.
      • Implemented a hiring freeze across the government, with exceptions for military, national security, and public safety.
      • Ordered federal employees back to in-person work and ended remote work policies.
      • Revoked 78 executive actions from the Biden administration, including those on racial equity and discrimination protections.

        • Social and Cultural Issues:

        • Suspended diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across federal agencies, signaling a shift in federal hiring practices.
        • Established a policy recognizing only two genders, male and female, on official documents.

          • International Relations and Health:

          • Withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing its management of global health crises

            • Legal and Judicial Actions:

            • Pardoned hundreds involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, both those convicted and those still under investigation.

              • Economic and Business:

              • Delayed the ban on TikTok for 75 days to reassess the legal and economic implications.

                • These executive orders reflect Trump's campaign promises to overhaul immigration policies, reduce government bureaucracy, prioritize domestic energy production, and undo many of the previous administration's initiatives. Many of these orders are expected to face legal challenges due to their broad scope or conflict with existing laws or constitutional interpretations.
