On January 20, President-elect Donald Trump will take office with an unprecedented wave of over 200 executive actions on his first day, signalling a bold and disruptive start to his second term.
Trump, 78, who defeated Democrat Kamala Harris in the November election, will succeed incumbent President Joe Biden as the 47th President of the United States.
The actions, which include 50 executive orders—legally binding directives—will span multiple policy areas, including border security, domestic energy production, and federal workforce reforms.
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the incoming administration, confirmed that Trump plans to sign these orders immediately after his inauguration, with many set to be part of broader “omnibus” directives.
“This is a massive, record-setting, unmatched first wave,” a senior official said.
“This is the most extensive list of executive actions in American history, all guided by a relentless commitment to deliver on the campaign promise.”
Among the most notable orders, Trump will declare a national border emergency, effectively shutting down the southern U.S. border.
While it remains unclear whether the northern border will be affected, the border security crackdown will coincide with a mass deportation plan expected to begin in Chicago shortly after the inauguration.

Trump will also push for a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy with a controversial order that seeks to end automatic U.S. citizenship for children born in the country to undocumented immigrants.
This action would directly challenge the 14th Amendment and is expected to face legal hurdles.
In addition, Trump will suspend security clearances for 51 national security officials involved in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, suspend offshore wind leases, and halt the Biden administration’s electric vehicle mandates.
He is also expected to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord and reverse many of Biden’s environmental policies.
The president-elect has vowed to prioritize domestic oil production, calling his approach “Drill, baby, drill.”
Furthermore, federal employees will face strict new policies requiring merit-based hiring and a return to in-office work, ending the widespread remote work that grew during the pandemic.
