Donald Trump has said he will act with “historic speed and strength” once he is back in the White House, promising a slew of executive orders – many expected on day one – targeting undocumented migrants, transgender rights and large chunks of Joe Biden’s legacy.
Donald Trump plans to issue a flurry of executive orders and directives after he is sworn in as US president at a frigid US Capitol on Monday, having promised to deliver many of his campaign pledges before the day is out.
Sources familiar with the planning said more than 100 such orders and directives could be released as early as day one, in what his team has described as a “shock and awe” effort.
“Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen,” Trump has said of his first day in office.
The vast powers enjoyed by US presidents mean Trump could steer border enforcement efforts and pardon some of the January 6, 2021 Capitol rioters with the stroke of a pen.
But other executive orders will essentially be statements of intent, setting the stage for potentially much longer struggles in Congress and the courts.
Here is what we know about his planned executive action.
