President Donald Trump, the 47th president, signed a record-breaking 42 executive orders on his first day back in office, aiming to reshape U.S. policies on immigration, health, energy, and national security. The flurry of executive actions is intended to reverse policies from the Biden administration and fulfill many of his campaign promises. Among the orders are measures targeting migrants at the southern border, and several are already facing significant legal and political challenges.
