Trump Plans To Sign Around 100 Executive Orders On Day One
SUMMARY
President-elect Donald Trump plans to sign approximately 100 executive orders on his first day in office, focusing on border security and energy policy. In meetings with Senate Republicans, Trump outlined plans to reinstate the Title 42 policy, enabling emergency measures to curb illegal immigration, and reintroduce the "Remain in Mexico" policy, requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico during case processing. The Biden administration had replaced these policies with a "catch and release" approach, contributing to a backlog of 3.5 million asylum cases. Trump also intends to prioritize energy independence, including reviving the Keystone XL pipeline and overturning bans on offshore drilling. These initiatives are part of a broader agenda to reverse Biden-era policies. Senior advisor Stephen Miller emphasized the immediate implementation of immigration-related orders, while Trump underscored the need for legislative support to solidify these measures.
