TODAY IS DAY ONE:

President Trump’s Day One executive order plans focus on several key areas:

 

  • Immigration and Border Security: Trump intends to declare a national emergency at the southern border, which would facilitate military deployment to the border, classify cartels as terrorist organizations, and enhance border enforcement. Plans also include ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, suspending refugee admissions, and reinstating policies like “Remain in Mexico.” Mass deportations are also on the agenda, with a focus on those with criminal records.

  • Energy and Environment: Trump aims to roll back environmental regulations, including ending what he refers to as the “electric vehicle mandate,” lifting bans on offshore drilling, and promoting domestic energy production. This includes plans to withdraw from international climate agreements like the Paris Agreement.

  • Regulatory Reform: Trump has promised to undertake the largest regulatory reduction in history, directing federal agencies to remove burdensome regulations that increase the cost of goods.

  • Cultural and Social Policies: Plans include actions against what Trump labels as “woke” policies, such as cutting federal funding for schools teaching critical race theory or enforcing vaccine mandates, banning transgender women from women’s sports, and reversing policies supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

  • Economic Policies: Trump’s plans include imposing new tariffs, particularly on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, to address trade imbalances. He also aims to extend tax cuts from his previous administration.

  • Federal Workforce and Government Efficiency: Trump intends to revive the Schedule F executive order to reclassify federal workers as at-will employees, thereby making it easier to replace them with political appointees. There’s also a focus on moving federal agencies out of Washington, D.C., and creating a new entity called the “Department of Government Efficiency” to streamline federal spending.

  • Legal and Judicial Actions: Trump has promised to pardon individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol incident, and he plans to address legal challenges by potentially using executive orders to influence judicial processes.

These executive orders, numbering potentially over 100, aim to undo many of the Biden administration’s policies and mark a significant shift back to Trump’s previous term’s agenda. However, these actions could face legal challenges and might not all be implemented immediately due to logistical, legal, or political obstacles.
