Mon Jan 20 01:40:26 UTC 2025: ## Trump to Unleash Wave of Executive Orders on Day One
**Washington, D.C. – January 20, 2025** – President-elect Donald Trump is poised to sign a flurry of executive orders upon taking office, dramatically reshaping US policy on immigration, border security, energy, and government operations. This was revealed by incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, on Sunday.
Miller, briefing senior Republican leaders and previewing the orders at Trump’s victory rally, stated the actions will include declaring a national emergency on the southern border, deploying the military to the border, classifying drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy. Additionally, the “Catch and Release” policy for illegal immigrants will be ended.
On the energy front, Trump plans to expedite offshore and Arctic drilling, accelerate pipeline approvals and construction, and reverse environmental regulations. Significant government restructuring is also anticipated, with executive orders aimed at removing certain government employees and rescinding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
These executive orders, bypassing Congressional approval, represent a swift and significant departure from the policies of outgoing President Joe Biden. Specifically, Trump is expected to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change and lift restrictions on fossil fuel production. The broad scope of these orders underscores Trump’s ambitious agenda for his presidency. While executive orders hold the force of law, they remain challengeable in court.
