Trump's Early Executive Orders Draw Legal Challenges and Public Outcry

President Donald Trump's first week of his second term includes controversial immigration policies, anti-abortion measures, and legal battles over birthright citizenship.

  • Trump issued over two dozen executive orders in his first week, including policies targeting immigration, abortion, and gender definitions.
  • A federal judge blocked Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, deeming it unconstitutional and contrary to longstanding legal precedent.
  • Immigration advocates criticized Trump's deportation initiatives, citing fear tactics and propaganda, while deportation numbers remain comparable to those under Biden.
  • Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the March for Life, signaling support for anti-abortion efforts but offering few concrete federal policy proposals.
  • Civil rights groups raised alarms over directives that could revive a 'Muslim ban' and target foreign nationals, including pro-Palestine activists, for deportation.
