Initial Rescissions Of Harmful Executive Orders And Actions

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Initial Rescissions Of Harmful Executive Orders And Actions." This order revokes several executive actions from the previous administration, which are described as promoting unpopular and radical practices, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, open border policies, and climate regulations. The order directs federal agencies to cease implementing these policies and mandates a review by the Domestic Policy Council and the National Economic Council to identify additional actions for rescission. Furthermore, the National Security Advisor is tasked with reviewing national security memoranda from the previous administration for potential harm to national security and recommending any necessary rescissions.
