This order directs federal departments and agencies not to issue or accept citizenship-affirming documents for babies without at least one citizen or LPR parent.

This claims to end Birthright Citizenship by directing the U.S. government to withhold the issuance of documents and to refuse to accept state, local, or other documents recognizing the U.S. citizenship of babies born after Feb. 20, 2025 who do not have at least one citizen or Legal Permanent Resident (LPR, greencard-holder) parent. This order violates the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent, which held that all babies born in the United States are citizens, whether their parents are authorized to be here or even eligible for citizenship at all. This order also differentiates between the citizenship status of a child's mother and father and makes no provisions for babies born to unknown fathers.

This order either pardons or commutes the sentences of any person who was convicted of an offense related to the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

By pardoning or commuting the sentences of all those convicted of participating in January 6th Insurrection, Donald Trump made it clear to the nation that no one responsible for the violence committed that day would be held accountable. This includes those who were convicted of assaulting police officers and those convicted of seditious conspiracy. This executive order risks further violent outbursts from the President's supporters in the future, with or without his direction.

This is an omnibus border-related order that will result in more immigration detention and fewer people getting access to the U.S. asylum system.

This order contains a number of provisions — not all of which can go into effect immediately, but all of which signal that this administration will attempt to cut off access to asylum as much as possible and to detain as many immigrants as possible. The order directs the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to build the wall and send more personnel to obtain "complete operational control" of the border, a standard that has never been met and could not be met without diverting the resources of the federal government in a drastic manner. The order also instructs the Attorney General and DHS Secretary to assign additional federal personnel to enforce immigration law. As many immigrants as possible are to be detained, instead of being allowed to litigate their immigration cases from their own communities where they have access to documents, counsel, and resources that they cannot obtain in detention. The order instructs the Secretary of State to restart Remain in Mexico and to negotiate so-called "safe third country" agreements, which require the assent of other countries. This order also ends the CBP One app, a flawed phone app that nonetheless allowed asylum seekers to go to ports of entry at assigned times, ends a parole program for citizens for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV), and signals a severe decrease in the use of parole overall. The order directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) and DHS to do more DNA testing of migrants, including of families, and to prosecute more border-related offenses. Finally, this order suggests the Administration will use Title 42's public health authority to cut off access to asylum within the next two weeks.

This order reinstates "Schedule F" and makes it easier to fire career civil servants who provide critical services to all Americans.

By making it easier to fire career civil servants, this executive order significantly impairs our government's ability to provide essential services that millions of Americans rely on. Indeed, career civil servants are nonpartisan experts who help keep our food, medicine, transportation, and water safe; secure our public safety and our national security; deliver our mail; support our education and health care systems; and work in our court houses, our airports, our national parks, and so much more. This order could enable a political leader to replace these nonpartisan public servants with partisan ideologues.

Senior Trump appointees are directed to review civil and criminal law enforcement and intelligence actions believed to be against the Trump administration and its supporters.

The Attorney General (AG) and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) are directed to review all investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions taken during the Biden administration, and provide recommendations for "remedial actions" for conduct the AG and DNI believe constitute "weaponization" of the federal government. As one example, the EO states that the "Department of Justice has ruthlessly prosecuted more than 1,500 individuals associated with January 6, and simultaneously dropped nearly all cases against BLM rioters" but this review will cover any action perceived to be contrary to the views and policies of the Trump administration and its supporters. This review could undo actions to break up monopolies that hurt consumers, prosecutions of insider trading laws, and prosecutions for police misconduct and discrimination in housing, education, and the workplace, among many other areas. Federal prosecutors, investigators, and intelligence officers, as well as any federal employee who cooperated with the House investigation of the January 6 insurrection, could be demoted, fired, and/or prosecuted for their actions. The final report's recommendations are to be given directly to the White House, breaking long-standing traditions of separating law enforcement decisions from political interference.

This order commands all federal remote workers back to the office full-time, without regard to union agreements or disruptions it could cause.

This order directs agencies to terminate remote work arrangements and require remote workers to return to the office full-time. Only department and agency heads can grant exceptions, and there are no standards listed for those exceptions. There is also no acknowledgment of union collective bargaining agreements, which could mean that the administration intends to ignore them. This will create major hardships for remote workers, despite remote work being common outside the government, and it will make it harder for the government to provide essential services and protections.
