First 100 days of the second Donald Trump presidency
[7][8] Trump said that on the first day of his second term he would begin the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, close the U.S. border with Mexico, reinstate the travel bans on specific countries from his first term, end the federal government's electric vehicle incentives and pro-climate subsidies, expand domestic oil production, pardon defendants of the January 6 United States Capitol attack of 2021, end protections for gender-affirming care, and cut federal funding for schools deemed "woke".
[19] Trump made immigration policy, particularly cracking down on the United States-Mexico border crisis, a centerpoint of his campaign, and many of his early actions focused on this issue.
On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order to declare a national emergency on the southern border that would enable the deployment of armed forces.
[38][39] On February 3, Trump announced that the tariffs on both Mexico and Canada would be paused for one month after the countries agreed to take further steps to prevent the trafficking of drugs into the United States.
[40][41] Trump signed numerous executive orders attempting to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, particularly targeting transgender Americans.
[45] Trump signed another executive order partially revoking Equal Employment Opportunity and banning government contracts from being given to private organizations which enforce DEI frameworks.
[47] At a press conference held in January 2025, the day after a mid-air collision between an airplane and helicopter that killed 67 people, the worst aviation accident in the U.S. since 2001, Trump read from a January 2024 New York Post article that said "the FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website.
"[48] Pursuant to the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, the social media app TikTok was banned in the United States on January 19, one day before Trump took office.
[49] Trump also signed orders reinstating Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terror,[50] reversing sanctions on Israeli settlers,[51] and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization.
[53] On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a temporary organization headed by Elon Musk which aimed to reduce wasteful and fraudulent federal spending, and eliminate excessive regulations.
[61] The memo sparked considerable uncertainty among government employees, lawmakers and nonprofit organizations, with Medicaid portals, FAFSA, and other programs being shut down across the country.
[63][64] In his first 100 days, Trump has been noted for making sweeping assertions of executive authority, and challenging several Congressional laws and parts of the Constitution restraining presidential power.
[65][66][67] On his first day in office, Trump issued a proclamation that granted clemency to about 1,500 people convicted of offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack that occurred near the end of his first presidential term.
[72] Many of the pardoned rioters had prior convictions for rape, child sexual exploitation, domestic violence, manslaughter, drug trafficking, and other crimes.
[73][74] Additionally, on January 21, 2025, Trump granted Ross Ulbricht, who was convicted of running a darknet market facilitating trade in narcotics, a full and unconditional pardon.
