Trump executive orders and actions: By the numbers
President Trump took office Monday, marking the beginning of a new era in Washington.
The changing of the guard was, perhaps, marked most significantly by sweeping new executive actions that will have far-reaching consequences on swaths of the electorate.
Here’s a look at Trump’s moves on his first day in office, broken down by the numbers.
26 executive orders
Trump issued a flurry of executive orders on issues ranging from immigration to gender to TikTok.
On immigration and citizenship issues, Trump signed executive orders ending birthright citizenship, pausing refugee admissions, designating certain cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy and calling for increased vetting and screening of migrants entering the U.S.
Trump also issued an executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, and he issued an executive order ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.
He issued an executive order “restoring the death penalty” and recognizing it as the “only proper punishment for the vilest crimes.”
