Trump to Issue 100+ Executive Orders on Day One, Declares Border Emergency

Jan 19, 2025, 08:33 PM

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to issue over 100 executive orders immediately after he is sworn into office on Monday, marking the largest number of first-day orders in American history. Among the expected actions is a declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, which would unlock Pentagon funds and potentially deploy military resources to build border infrastructure. The planned executive orders also include eliminating President Biden's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) directives, ending limits on offshore drilling and drilling on federal land, reinstating the 'Remain in Mexico' policy requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their cases are processed, and initiating immigration raids. Trump's aggressive first-day agenda aims to deliver on promises he made during his campaign.
