President Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders at a desk on stage at Capital One Arena in front of about 20,000 people attending the inauguration festivities, Monday evening.
Trump formally signed the executive orders rescinding 78 Biden executive orders, freezing new regulations, freezing new federal hiring except for the military and other excluded areas and requiring federal workers to return to work in person full time.
The president also signed orders directing federal departments to address the “cost of living crisis,” withdraw from the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, prevent government censorship of speech and end the weaponization of government against political adversaries.
Among the border security executive orders Trump is expected to sign are declarations putting an end to birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, resuming border wall construction, reinstating “Remain in Mexico,” and a plan to pause refugee resettlement for at least four months.
Trump’s first executive order Monday was an order to fly flags at full staff on Inauguration Day.
“By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and in honor of Inauguration Day and everything good and noble that it represents about our Nation, our people, and our form of Government, I hereby order that, on this and all future Inauguration Days, the flag of the United States shall be flown at full-staff,” the president declared.
The Trump administration has already canceled the Biden regime’s CBP One cell phone app parole program that allowed more than 900,000 otherwise inadmissible migrants to enter the US, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported on X. A notice on the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) website shows that existing appointments have been cancelled.
A Washington Post reporter posted a video on X of migrants sobbing in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, when they learned that the app has shut down and their travel plans were canceled.
According to Fox News, Trump officials told reporters in a press call that the president will sign an order clarifying language in the 14th Amendment and stating that the federal government “will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States.”
The 14th Amendment states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Trump will also reportedly sign an executive order declaring a national emergency in order to deploy U.S. troops at the southern border.
The president was also expected sign executive orders related to ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government and strictly defining two sexes.
The president laid out his America First Priorities in a statement on the White House website:

The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN
