Trump Prepares Sweeping Day One Executive Actions for Second Term
President-elect Trump plans to implement aggressive immigration policies, conservative culture war initiatives, and regulatory rollbacks immediately upon taking office.
- Trump's team is reportedly preparing a series of executive orders aimed at sealing the southern border, restarting border wall construction, and initiating a large-scale deportation operation.
- Planned actions include ending Biden-era immigration programs, suspending refugee admissions, and challenging birthright citizenship through executive order, potentially leading to a constitutional dispute.
- The president-elect intends to target federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, ban transgender women from competing in women's sports, and pardon January 6 rioters convicted of crimes.
- Economic measures include a massive regulatory rollback, expedited permits for drilling and fracking, and potential tariffs on foreign trade partners, despite opposition from Wall Street.
- Many of the proposed actions, including promises to lower energy prices and settle international conflicts, may face significant legal, logistical, or legislative hurdles.
