EXCLUSIVE: President Trump will sign more than 200 executive measures on Inauguration Day—a massive, record-breaking first wave of policy priorities focused on border security, energy, reducing the cost of living for American families, ending the federal government’s DEI program and more, Fox News Digital has learned.
A senior administration official familiar with the executive actions and authorized to report to Fox News Digital said the president will sign multiple “omnibus” executive orders, each containing dozens of major executive actions.

“The president is issuing a historic series of executive orders and actions that will fundamentally reform the American government, including a complete and total restoration of American sovereignty,” the official told Fox News Digital.
On the first day, the president will declare a state of emergency at the national border; direct the US military to work with the Department of Homeland Security to fully secure the southern border; and establish a national priority to eliminate all criminal cartels operating on US soil.
Trump will issue a proclamation closing the border to all illegal aliens and declaring a national emergency at the border, Fox News Digital has learned.
Trump will also create homeland security task forces with officers from the FBI, ICE, CEA and others to “completely eradicate the presence of criminal cartels.”
Trump will also direct the designation of the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, which the official said would unlock new powers to achieve Trump’s homeland security mission.
Fox News Digital has learned that Trump will reintroduce “Stay in Mexico,” “Catch and Release” and direct the military to build a new phase of the border wall, as well as give emergency authorities to suspend the entry of illegal aliens across the Southwest border, allowing individuals arrested to be “quickly returned to their countries of origin”.

On the energy front, Trump will “completely unleash” Alaska’s energy, which the official said is vital and vital to America’s national security.
A senior official told Fox News Digital that the energy executive order addresses “every single energy policy” and deals with liquids, natural gas, ports, fracking, pipelines, permits and more, while also repealing President Biden’s policies that “limited supply American energy.”
The official also said Trump would completely reform the federal bureaucracy by re-establishing presidential control over careers, the federal workforce and making it clear to federal workers that they can be removed from their jobs for disobeying executive directives.
The official said Trump would sign an executive order to strengthen oversight of senior government officials and implement a new merit-based hiring review. Trump will also take steps to put federal workers back to personal work.
The official also said Trump would end “weaponizing the federal government” and restore free speech and “end federal censorship.”
On the first day, Trump will also suspend the security clearances of 51 national security officials who “lied” about Hunter Biden’s laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Trump is also expected to establish biological definitions of gender; rename historical places like “The American Gulf” and more.
Trump will also end all equality and diversity inclusion programs in the federal government on day one.
Trump will also institute a new hiring freeze at the Department of Government Efficiency; gain control over foreign aid and funding of non-governmental organizations; and more.
“He is re-establishing powerful control over the executive branch of the US government,” the official told Fox News Digital.
As for cutting costs for American families, Trump will sign a special presidential memorandum directing all agencies and departments to eliminate all federal measures that increase costs for families and consumers, which an official told Fox News Digital will be the start of Trump’s “historic de-regulatory effort” of his second term.
On his first day, Trump will also declare a national energy emergency and pause all offshore wind leases.
Meanwhile, Trump will end the electric vehicle mandate; end the Green New Deal; withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement; and reverse several actions and orders of President Biden.
“This is a huge, record-breaking, unparalleled first wave,” the official told Fox News Digital. “Even after this, the entire military is ready to continue rebuilding America.”
The official added, “This is the most extensive list of executive branch actions in American history, all driven by a relentless commitment to fulfilling campaign promises.”
The official told Fox News Digital that “everything” voters voted for “is being translated into executive policy.”
“There is a massive federal workforce that is advancing its goals to the detriment of the American people — and President Trump is taking command, saying you will serve the American people and the American people only,” the official said. “This is about stopping corrupt, abusive behavior and refocusing government on its core duties to the American people.”

New Trump administration officials told Fox News Digital that the overarching theme of his first actions is “promises made, promises kept.”
“As soon as President Trump puts his hand on the Bible and swears to the Constitution of the United States, the Golden Age of America will begin,” White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt told Fox News Digital. “The American people will have a leader who will deliver on the promises he made to restore the greatness of our country.”
The president on Sunday reviewed one of his first day executive orders related to the popular video-sharing app TikTok, which was forced to cease operations in the United States following a US Supreme Court ruling.
Trump said he would sign an order on Monday that would “extend the period before the statutory bans go into effect, so we can make a deal to protect our national security.” Trump also said the order would confirm that “there will be no accountability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.”
