Trump's First Week: Sweeping Orders Transform Federal Government

Trump's return to the White House signaled a dramatic shift in federal operations with a barrage of sweeping executive orders. These orders, impacting areas from national security to immigration and energy policy, have ignited intense legal challenges and sparked congressional debate. His actions include designation of Yemen's Houthis as terrorists, reversing previous policies; imposing economic pressure on Russia; and stirring up immigration disputes with attempts to end birthright citizenship. The president also initiated changes in the federal workforce by ending remote work flexibility and placing DEI employees on leave. Trump's orders extended to environmental policy by accelerating drilling permits and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. His pardons for January 6 defendants add another layer of controversy, showing a strong agenda that faces significant hurdles both legally and within Congress.
