So far, Donald Trump has announced all of the Day 1 executive actions
White House outlines actions that Trump is expected to sign on Monday about border security, immigration reform and children’s rights in the U.S.
The officials outlined 10 actions that Trump will sign on Monday related to border security, including deploying the U.S. military and National Guard to the southern border, and ending automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who don’t have legal status — which is likely to face immediate legal challenges.
The president is expected to make a number of changes to the immigration system, including ending the automatic citizenship for children of immigrants without legal status, White House officials said on a call.
The action would also reinstate “Remain in Mexico,” which would require some asylum seekers as the southern border to wait in Mexico for their hearings in U.S. immigration court, and build the wall along the southern border.
Trump promised that the U.S. would have only two genders. LGBTQ+ rights were a flashpoint in the 2024 presidential campaign.
The change will require government agencies to use the definitions on documents like passports, visas and employee records the official said. Taxpayer funds will not be allowed to be used for “transition services,” the official said.
An action will end diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal government, according to an official.
An incoming White House official told reporters during a background conference call on Friday that Trump will declare a national emergency on Monday and cut regulations for the energy industry and Alaskan resources.
“That national energy emergency will unlock a variety of different authorities that will enable our nation to quickly build again, to produce coal and natural resources, to create jobs, to create prosperity and to strengthen our nation’s national security,” the official said. The official declined to say a lower target price, despite saying energy prices are too high.
The action will end what incoming Trump officials call the “electric vehicle mandate” and will end “efforts to curtail consumer choice on the things that consumers use every single day, whether it be showerheads, whether it be gas stoves, whether it be dishwashers and the like,” the official said.
Inaugural Address to Trump: Black and Hispanic Cosmic Contributions to the Founding of New York and New York Crimes
Trump will sign a presidential memorandum on inflation Monday, an official from the incoming administration said. The official didn’t give any more information.
“The scales of justice will be rebalanced,” Trump vowed in his address, adding that the “weaponization” will end. Trump was indicted in four criminal cases, two federal and two states. The one that made it to trial was the only one to make it before the election. Trump was convicted in New York of business fraud, stemming from hush money payments made to cover up for an alleged affair with an adult film actress.
A phone call to Georgia election officials, as well as two other cases related to Trump’s false claims about the election being stolen, have been connected to the Jan. 6 siege at the US Capitol. The other federal case was about classified documents Trump took from the White House. All three faced delays and prosecutorial setbacks.
“To the Black and Hispanic communities, thank you for the trust and love you gave to me,” Trump said, adding, “We set records, and I will not forget it.”
Trump did win a record percentage of Latinos for a Republican — 46%, according to exit polls. He did better with black voters than he did with whites.

The First Day of Donald Trump’s Presidency: “We Will Make a Dream Come True,” Mt. McKinley and the Gulf of Mexico”
Trump promised to make his dream a reality after he noted that his inauguration was taking place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will make his dream come true. ” President Biden, seated behind Trump, could be seen with a slight smirk.
Trump also promised to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, Mt. Denali in Alaska back to Mt. McKinley and that the country would wrest control of the Panama Canal.
When Trump said he would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, Hillary Clinton was laughing at him and shaking her head.
Of course, many of the things Trump is calling for are not supported by all Americans. If Trump followed through with his promise to pardon people convicted of attacking the Capitol, a survey by NPR found that Americans were against it, split evenly on deporting immigrants and thought tariffs would hurt the economy more than help it.
“They tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to take my life,” Trump said. “I felt my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.”
Culture issues and immigration were always the fuel to Trump’s political rise. He has prioritised immigration as his main priority. In the most recent NPR News/Marist survey, 4 in 10 Republicans said they favor mass deportations, and a strong majority said they supported it.
Trump believes the measures would help build American prosperity, though he said it would be hard to lower prices. Many Americans had shown that prices and inflation were their top concerns.
Trump also said he would declare a “national energy emergency,” would rescind the Green New Deal and the electric vehicle mandate and create an “External Revenue Service” to level tariffs against other countries’ goods.
During his presidential campaign, Trump vowed to address legal migration and deport people who are in the U.S. without legal status.
According to incoming White House officials who spoke to reporters on a background call, “our southern border is overrun by criminals, terrorists and drug traffickers, and it harms the citizens of our country.”
In his electoral win, Trump and his allies claim that he has endorsed his efforts to improve border security.
Under the Biden administration, border crossing had increased, reaching all-time highs. Over the past six months Customs and Border Protection has seen a sharp decrease in unauthorized apprehensions.
Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan also said large-scale raids to deport and detain those without legal status are set to begin as soon as Tuesday, focusing on people considered a security or safety threat.
The officials said this will allow the U.S. armed forces to finish the border wall. It will also allow the defense secretary to deploy members of the armed forces and National Guard to the border.
The policy of “catch and release,” where those without legal status were released from jail while they waited for a hearing on their immigration case, is going to be abolished, officials said.
Trump Plans 10 Sweeping Actions on Border Security on Day 1: What we know from NPR/PBS News/Marist
The Trump White House plans to designate criminal cartels and others as foreign terrorist organizations and specifically designated global terrorists. This allows the U.S. to more easily remove members of groups like the Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela, and MS-13.
The removal of the gang members from the United States was ordered because they were found to be a force of the government of Venezuela in the US.
Officials said they are planning to end asylum entirely and close the border to those without legal status via proclamation, “which creates an immediate removal process without possibility of asylum.”
The officials said that the White House wants to end the automatic citizenship granted under the 14th amendment. The officials focused on the phrase in the amendment: “without the jurisdiction of the federal government” to mean that the automatic citizenship granted to children born in the United States to parents without legal status wouldn’t be recognized. Immediate legal challenges are likely to be the result of this action.
The officials said they will intensify screening of illegal aliens. We are going to direct agencies to report to the president regarding recommendations for the suspension of entry for nationals of any country of particular concerns.”
The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll also finds that Americans are evenly split on whether to mass deport people who are in the U.S. without legal status — though divisions fall along party lines.

The Biden Administration is Heading to a High-Tensor State Prison: The Status of the American Crime against a First Amendment in 1798
It directs the Attorney General to seek capital punishment for the murders of law enforcement officers and illegal aliens. It encourages state agencies and district attorneys to bring capital state charges for these crimes,” the officials said.
“So as you know, this is about national security, this is about public safety, and this is about the victims of some of the most violent, abusive criminals we’ve seen enter our country in our lifetime. The officials said it would end today.
Although Trump has reiterated many of these promises for over a year, they may take weeks or months to implement. Several actions will likely be the subject of legal challenges or need Congress to mobilize new funding that Trump currently does not have.
The big question marks are on the page. He’s talked about using and expanding facilities. That will almost certainly happen,” Andrew Selee, president of the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute, said in an interview with NPR’s Morning Edition.
He stated that the Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 would require him to return to that legislation if he were to attempt to use the military himself.
In fact, even quickly scaling operations might be difficult for the new administration. An NPR investigation found that the agency that is responsible for removing immigrants couldn’t meet President Trump’s demands during his first term.
In their final budget request, the Biden administration asked for $19 billion to fund additional personnel, facilities, repatriation capabilities and other enforcement resources along the southwest border.
