Trump's Day One Executive Orders Target Immigration, Climate, and Gender Policies

President Trump's sweeping actions include attempts to end birthright citizenship, roll back climate initiatives, and redefine gender in federal policy.

  • President Trump signed a series of executive orders on his first day back in office, including efforts to end birthright citizenship and suspend the refugee resettlement program.
  • The administration declared a national emergency at the southern border, enabling stricter immigration enforcement and the designation of Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
  • Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord and halted offshore wind projects, signaling a return to fossil fuel prioritization in federal policy.
  • A new executive order redefines gender in federal law based on biological criteria, reversing policies from the previous administration and restricting access to gender-affirming accommodations.
  • Legal challenges have already been filed against several of these actions, with critics arguing they violate constitutional rights and international agreements.
