President Donald Trump launched his presidency with a wave of executive orders, reshaping policies on immigration, climate, health care, the economy and diversity programs.

From immigration restrictions to efforts to boost the U.S. economy, here are some of the notable executive orders.

Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions

This order rescinds 78 executive orders signed by former President Joe Biden. By rescinding these orders, the new aim is to remove the previous administration’s “injection” of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the federal government and tackle climate extremism within the U.S.

Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing

This order directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to remove any DEI programs in the federal government and provide a list of all DEI or “environmental justice” positions, committees, services, activities, budgets and expenditures.

This order begins the process of the U.S. withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing its mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, other global health crisis, the inappropriate influence other members have on the organization and the unfair high payments from the U.S. compared to other members.

Protecting the American People Against Invasion

With this order, President Trump called for the immediate removal of migrants who are not U.S. citizens. This order directs federal agencies to enforce removal orders and extends the presence of the Department of Homeland Security in all 50 states. It also calls for the construction of detention facilities for those awaiting deportation.

Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship

This order denies citizenship to certain U.S. born children whose parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents as President Trump asserts that the 14th Amendment does not cover these children as they do not fall under U.S. jurisdiction.

Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program

This order froze the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) on Jan. 27. This would only allow refugees who demonstrate they can assimilate into the U.S. to be admitted through a joint decision between the secretary of state and secretary of homeland security. Every 90 days the resumption of the USRAP will be considered.

Securing Our Border

The executive order suggests a coordinated state and federal effort to deter and prevent future immigration at the southern border. It also instructs federal agencies to construct a physical barrier, send law enforcement to the border and pursue criminal charges against migrants who enter the country illegally.

Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements

This order withdraws the United States from the Paris Climate Accord and continues with President Trump’s plans from his first administration and the previous administration’s U.S. International Climate Finance plan.

President Trump Imposes Tariffs on Imports from Canada, Mexico, and China

According to a fact sheet released by the White House, due to the threat posed by the influx of immigration and drugs, including fentanyl into the U.S., President Trump will be implementing a 25% additional tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% additional tariff on imports from China until the crisis is alleviated. As of now, there is an official pause on tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods until March.

While executive orders allow a president to direct federal agencies without congressional approval, they must still adhere to constitutional limitations and can be challenged in court or reversed by future administrations.
