What’s Happening

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed numerous executive orders (EOs), including several pertaining to or impacting immigration. The content and anti-immigrant sentiment of most of these EO’s were not unexpected. While they largely focussed on border enforcement, undocumented immigrants, and humanitarian immigration, the President’s Day 1 EOs also have potential implications for foreign nationals seeking entry to the United States, birthright citizenship, and other policies affecting noncitizens more broadly.
