President Trump has started his second term with a quick signing of 43 executive orders on January 20, his first day in office. However, he faces 24 lawsuits against these orders. One lawsuit challenging the Biden administration's asylum app was paused when Trump ordered a stop to its use. Among the lawsuits, four are against his executive order on creating the Department of Government Efficiency, and another targets his plan to penalize sanctuary cities. Additionally, seven lawsuits contest the order on birthright citizenship, which was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on January 23. This order aimed to limit citizenship to children born to at least one U. S. citizen parent.
The judge, John C. Coughenour, described the order as "blatantly unconstitutional. " The legal challenges to the birthright citizenship definition will continue, particularly from states and women who would give birth to children without U. S. citizenship under this new order. Meanwhile, two federal judges have issued temporary pauses on Trump's plan to freeze federal funding for various programs. A judge in Washington halted this plan before it could take effect, and another judge in Rhode Island agreed with nearly two dozen states seeking a pause.
The administration's order aimed to stop funding for several programs, except for Medicare, Social Security, Food Stamps, and Student loans, while agencies evaluated which programs violated Trump's executive orders. The goal was to ensure that financial assistance focused on administration priorities such as reducing inflation, improving American manufacturing, and ending perceived government overreach. The order, which was met with backlash, was rescinded amidst ongoing litigation.
