In his first week back in the White House, Donald Trump moved swiftly to enact a series of executive orders aimed at fulfilling his campaign promises and reversing policies from the previous administration.

Here's a summary of Donald Trumps executive orders:
Immigration and Border Security: Trump has issued orders to enhance border security, including the use of military personnel for immigration enforcement, declaring an "invasion" at the southern border, and restarting the construction of the border wall. He has also suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and plans to reinterpret birthright citizenship, potentially ending it for children of undocumented immigrants.
Executive Orders and Legislative Actions: Trump signed numerous executive orders, from a hiring freeze in the federal government to revoking Biden-era policies. He has signed orders to end work-from-home policies for federal employees, reclassified workers to make them easier to fire, and frozen new regulations. His administration has also moved to withdraw from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization.
Pardons and Legal Actions: Trump issued pardons for nearly all defendants involved in the January 6 Capitol siege, effectively nullifying their convictions. This has sparked controversy, with some viewing it as endorsing political violence. He also delayed the enforcement of a ban on TikTok, giving his administration time to reassess the policy.
Cultural and Social Policies: Trump signed orders affecting gender identity recognition and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, aiming to recognize only two genders and dismantle DEI initiatives within the federal government. This has led some companies to follow suit in their policies.
Economic and Energy Policies: Trump has directed actions to roll back emissions standards, promote fossil fuel production, and end the ban on offshore drilling. He has also promised to reduce regulatory burdens to lower costs for goods, although some of these actions might require Congressional support to fully implement.
Disaster Response in North Carolina and Los Angeles: In his first week in office, President Trump visited both North Carolina and Los Angeles to address the aftermath of natural disasters. In North Carolina, Trump surveyed areas hit by Hurricane Helene, criticizing the previous administration's response and promising federal aid to help rebuild.
He spoke about the need for quicker disaster response and suggested reforms to FEMA, which he described as too bureaucratic.
In Los Angeles, dealing with extensive wildfire damage, Trump met with local leaders, including California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom
