The move is one of many executive actions focused on the federal workforce enacted since Trump took office Monday afternoon. His other actions addressed DEI hiring more broadly, froze hiring in most executive agencies and directed a return to in-person work for many federal employees, among other directives.

President Donald Trump started his second administration with a blitz of policy actions to reorient the U.S. government.

The president issued several actions related to the border or immigration, including ramping up deportations and suspending refugee resettlement.

The U.S. president signed directives to militarize the border, consider designating cartels as terrorist groups, and cut foreign aid.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning “federal censorship” of online speech. Some fear it will make social media more toxic.

Trump, who said he would not be a dictator “except for Day 1” of his presidency, signed a record number of executive orders on Monday.

The orders signed at the White House included a directive to end birthright citizenship, a move sure to spark a constitutional fight over the 14th Amendment.

There are limitations to what a president can legally do via executive action, and many of Trump’s orders are expected to be challenged in court.
