It’s going to be a busy day!
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are scheduled to be sworn in shortly before noon and then will hit the ground running.
Trump is planning to enact nearly 200 wide-ranging executive actions after his inauguration on Monday.
Among the actions Trump is set to take are declaring a national emergency at the southern border to mobilize the military – and fast-track construction of his border wall – ending birthright citizenship, pausing refugee resettlement programs and designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
A senior administration official, authorized to discuss the plans in an exclusive briefing with Fox News Digital, described the effort as a “massive, record-setting” and “unmatched first wave” of policy directives that will cover immigration, energy, and government reform that rolls back Biden-era policies.
The official told Fox News Digital that the theme of the push was “promises made, promises kept” going on to describe the effort as “a historic series of executive orders and actions that will fundamentally reform the American government.”
Here’s a look at just 31 of those executive actions Trump plans to take significant enough to be mentioned in the brief:
1. End “Catch and Release” – Trump will put an end to the release of undocumented immigrants into the U.S. while they await court hearings.
