Trump's First Day: A Whirlwind of Executive Actions

President-elect Donald Trump is set to hit the ground running on his first day in office, with a flurry of executive actions planned. His team has hinted at over 100 orders and actions, focusing on immigration, energy, and federal operations. A key adviser, Stephen Miller, gave lawmakers a sneak peek of what to expect. Immigration will be a big focus, with Trump possibly declaring a national emergency at the border to access defense funds. He also plans to reinstate policies like "Remain in Mexico, " which were scrapped by the Biden administration.

The federal government isn't left out. Trump's team wants to change job protections for federal workers with an order known as Schedule F. They also want to clarify the role of the Department of Government Efficiency, led by tech moguls Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, as well as some gender-related orders, could be on the chopping block. Energy is another hot topic. Trump may declare a national emergency to boost domestic production and change rules in the sector. It's a busy agenda, and the pace could make communication tricky for Trump's team.
