Donald Trump is set to unveil a lengthy list of executive orders at the start of his second term, focusing on immigration, energy, and government structure reforms.
Trump’s top domestic policy advisor, Stephen Miller, has presented lawmakers with the list of orders, which are expected to be signed shortly after the inauguration.
Additionally, there will be a series of actions aimed at undoing executive orders put in place by President Joe Biden.
The details shared with lawmakers are limited, and these anticipated executive orders will likely face immediate legal challenges.
Here’s what the list includes:
Immigration:
- Declaration of a national emergency (primarily as a funding mechanism).
- Officially initiate the process to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols, which previously involved the controversial Title 42.
- Designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
- Travel bans.
- A list of actions that would reinstate all directives and guidance in place at the end of Trump’s first term.
Other Actions:
- Arctic National Wildlife Refuge shelter.
- Lifting the moratorium on liquefied natural gas.
- Re-withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.
- Creation of the National Energy Council.
- Declaration of a national emergency concerning energy.
Government Structure:
- Executive orders under “Plan F,” granting Trump the power to begin mass firing non-partisan federal employees and ending remote work for federal workers.
- Official creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
- Legislation related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
