President-elect Donald J. Trump on Monday will begin issuing a barrage of executive orders including major steps to crack down on immigration and dismantle diversity initiatives in the federal government, his team told reporters, kicking off his presidency with a muscular use of power intended to signal a sharp reversal from existing policies.
Mr. Trump will also act unilaterally to end electric vehicle mandates passed by the Biden administration, walk back protections for transgender students and suspend refugee resettlement for at least four months, they said.
[...]
Top advisers briefed reporters on many of them. Here are some of the major elements.
Immigration and the Border
Close the border to asylum-seeking migrants and end asylum and birthright citizenship. The president cannot change the Constitution on his own, so it’s not yet clear how Trump plans to end the guarantee of citizenship for those born in the United States, which is in the 14th Amendment.
Involve the U.S. military in border security. This would draw immediate legal challenges because of the strict limits in American law for how the armed forces can be deployed inside the country.
Declare migrant crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border to be a national emergency, which would allow Mr. Trump to unilaterally unlock federal funding for border wall construction, without approval from Congress, for stricter enforcement efforts.
Designate drug cartels as “global terrorists.”
Federal Work Force
End remote work policies and order many agencies back to the office 4-5 days a week.
Gender and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives
Establish biological sex definitions for federal workers and as part of revised Title IX guidance to schools
Remove protections for transgender people in federal prisons.
Remove protections for transgender migrants in U.S. custody.
