Jan 20, 2025, 05:42 PM

President Donald Trump signed over 200 executive orders on his first day in office, targeting policies on energy, border security, immigration enforcement, and federal workforce practices. The actions include declaring a national emergency at the southern border, reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy, ending 'catch-and-release' practices, deploying troops to the border, designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, eliminating foreign gang presence, overturning energy drilling restrictions, ending diversity, equity, and inclusion hiring practices in the federal government, and directing the military to construct a new phase of the border wall. The executive orders aim to reverse policies from the previous Biden administration and fulfill Trump's campaign promises.
