Many of President Donald Trump’s actions, particularly on illegal immigration, are efforts to keep promises he made on the campaign trail.

President Donald Trump’s first week back in office has been full of executive orders, firings, pardons, and other actions that will likely spur political pushback and legal challenges from opposition groups.

Trump has issued sweeping actions on illegal immigration, deploying the military to the southern border and ordering mass deportations nationwide.

He also moved to rename two large geographical landmarks, ended diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in federal agencies, proposed overhauling or eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and backed a plan to relocate thousands living in the Gaza Strip to “clean out” the territory.

These are some of Trump’s major actions in his first full week back in the White House:

Illegal Immigration

Trump had said on the 2024 campaign trail that he saw border security as a more pressing issue than inflation and the economy, while vowing to deploy the military to block illegal immigration.

Many of his first executive orders this week cracked down on illegal immigration, as he declared a national border emergency, sent troops to the U.S.–Mexico border, ended birthright citizenship for children of non-citizens or those on temporary status, and eliminated the CBP One app for migrants seeking asylum in the United States.

Trump’s order challenging birthright citizenship was already blocked by a federal judge, amid legal challenges from several states and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Trump also plans to resume border wall construction and has invoked the Alien Enemies Act to stop “any invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States by a qualifying actor.”

Trump suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program until further refugee entry “aligns with the interests of the United States.”

Additionally, Mexico has accepted the first four deportation flights of illegal immigrants from the United States. The flights set a new record for deportations to the nation in a single day, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
