This order claims to prohibit the proposal or issuing of any policies until a Trump administration official reviews and approves them.

By giving Trump administration officials complete review authority over issuing and proposing regulatory actions, guidance documents, and rules, this order makes it much more difficult for our government to perform essential functions, which include ensuring our food, medicine, transportation, and water are safe. Additionally, this order proposes to delay the effective dates of certain policies, as well as withdraw others that have not yet been published. Government cannot work for people and communities across this country by grinding it to a halt.

This order directs agency heads to lower the costs of housing, healthcare, and other necessities, in part by cutting regulations intended to protect consumers and the climate.

This order claims to address Americans' higher costs of living, but it will have no immediate effect. It directs agency heads to "deliver emergency price relief," in part by cutting policies that protect consumers and communities, and implement some changes that agency heads cannot do by themselves.

This order places a freeze on vast swaths of federal hiring, making it harder for the government to provide critical services and protections.

This order institutes an immediate hiring freeze throughout the executive branch, with some exceptions. It also provides for the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to consult with the DOGE on a plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government’s workforce. The IRS is targeted for a lengthier freeze than the rest of government. This overbroad and arbitrary freeze will make it harder for the government to staff essential positions that benefit all Americans.

This order claims to end federal government censorship and directs the Attorney General to investigate the Biden administration for its efforts to combat disinformation.

This order does not alter anyone's First Amendment rights. The federal government is already prohibited from unconstitutionally abridging the free speech of any American citizen. This order claims that the Biden administration, in attempts to combat "misinformation," "disinformation," and "malinformation," instead unconstitutionally coerced social media companies to censor Americans' speech on online platforms. The order directs the Attorney General to consult with the heads of executive departments and agencies to "investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years" for unconstitutional censorship and to prepare a report recommending "appropriate remedial actions" based on the report's findings.

This order directs federal departments and agencies not to issue or accept citizenship-affirming documents for babies without at least one citizen or LPR parent.

This claims to end Birthright Citizenship by directing the U.S. government to withhold the issuance of documents and to refuse to accept state, local, or other documents recognizing the U.S. citizenship of babies born after Feb. 20, 2025 who do not have at least one citizen or Legal Permanent Resident (LPR, greencard-holder) parent. This order violates the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent, which held that all babies born in the United States are citizens, whether their parents are authorized to be here or even eligible for citizenship at all. This order also differentiates between the citizenship status of a child's mother and father and makes no provisions for babies born to unknown fathers.

This order withdraws the U.S. from UNHRC, stops all U.S. funding to UNRWA and UNHRC, and orders a review of all international treaties and intergovernmental organizations.

This executive order directs the Secretary of State to reevaluate the United States’ commitment to three United Nations (UN) organizations: the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC); the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The United States will no longer participate in the UNHRC, and U.S. government agencies are directed to not use any funds for a contribution, grant, or other payment to UNRWA and to withhold UN funding that would go to UNHRC. Within 180 days of the issuance of the order, the Secretary of State and the U.S. Representative to the UN are directed to conduct a review of all international intergovernmental organizations of which the United States is a member and all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party to determine which are contrary to the interest of the United States and whether they can be reformed.
