On January 20, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to initiate a series of policies through executive orders within hours of taking the oath of office. These orders will cover areas such as immigration, energy, federal staff management, and regulatory reform, aiming to fully fulfill campaign promises and reverse the policies of the Biden administration.
Immigration Policy: Strengthening Border Security and Deportation Mechanisms
Trump plans to issue executive orders directing the federal government to take the following actions:
- Tighten border crossing restrictions to curb illegal entry through stricter controls;
- Authorize federal agencies to expedite the completion of the unfinished border wall;
- Establish a large-scale mechanism for the deportation of illegal immigrants;
- Suspend federal funding to sanctuary cities until they cease the protection of undocumented immigrants.
In an interview with the media at Congress, Trump clearly stated that his top priority is to "shut down the border" and deport criminals among illegal immigrants. He emphasized that immigration policy will be the primary area of reform for his administration.
Federal Employee Reform: Reducing Size and Resuming Office Work
According to informed sources, Trump's team plans to freeze federal government hiring through executive orders to reduce the total number of employees. Additionally, he plans to mandate that federal employees return to in-person work, reducing the proportion of remote work. This move aims to enhance the efficiency of the federal government while cutting costs.
Fulfilling Campaign Promises and Policy Reversal
Trump and his team have clearly stated they will swiftly fulfill campaign promises through executive actions. This move is also intended to reverse many policies implemented during the Biden administration, reshaping the U.S. government's policy direction.
Analysts believe that Trump's decision to issue numerous executive orders on inauguration day not only demonstrates his determination to govern but also signifies a comprehensive and rapid shift in U.S. policy. Trump's allies believe that acting swiftly will help solidify the government's ruling foundation, laying a solid groundwork for governance over the next four years.
Although the transition team has not yet responded to the specifics of the orders, the actions planned by the Trump administration on its first day have garnered widespread attention, especially regarding the potential significant impact on American society from policy changes in key areas such as immigration and federal employee management.
