Trump Executive Order Tracker

Orders that it is the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth. Administration will take all appropriate action to protect affirmatively all-female athletic opportunities and all-female locker rooms, thereby providing the equal opportunity guaranteed by Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. Also rescinds U.S. support for and participation in people-to-people sports exchanges or other sports programs within which the relevant female sports category is based on identity and not sex.

Orders that for each new regulation issued, at least 10 prior regulations be identified for elimination.  This practice is to ensure that the cost of planned regulations is responsibly managed and controlled through a rigorous regulatory budgeting process.

Order an immediate return to merit-based recruitment, hiring, and promotion, elevating safety and ability as the paramount standard.  Also ordering the Secretary of Transportation and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to review all hiring decisions and changes to safety protocols made during the prior 4 years, and to take such corrective action as necessary to achieve uncompromised aviation safety, including the replacement of any individuals who do not meet qualification standards.

Rescinded: The White House Office of Management and Budget has rescinded its freeze on federal financial assistance, per a January 29 memo circulated to all federal departments and agencies. As a result, the original pause on agency funds, which itself had been subject to a federal district court stay until February 3, will not go forward.

This order directs the Secretary of Defense to promptly issue directives for DoD to end invented and identification-based pronoun usage to best achieve high standards for troops. Absent extraordinary operational necessity, the Armed Forces shall neither allow males to use or share sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities designated for females, nor allow females to use or share sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities designated for males. 

This order abolishes every Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) office within the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the U.S. Coast Guard,  respectively, including any vestiges of DEI offices, such as sub-offices, programs, elements, or initiatives established to promote a race-based preferences system that subverts meritocracy, perpetuates unconstitutional discrimination, and promotes divisive concepts or gender ideology.  

Terminates the use of diversity and inclusion practices in the Federal Aviation Administration’s hiring and recruitment processes. The Administration has issued a more comprehensive EO eliminating DEI programs, policies and initiatives across the federal government (and encouraging the same across the private sector). 

It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. It is the Administration’s position that sexes are not interchangeable and that “sex” is not a “synonym for and does not include the term ‘gender identity.’” When administering or enforcing sex-based distinctions, every agency and all federal employees acting in an official capacity on behalf of their agency shall use the term “sex” and not “gender” in all applicable federal policies and documents. The EO further defines “gender identity” as “an internal and subjective sense of self” and directs agencies to take steps to eradicate use of the term and to implement regulations, guidance, forms and communications to comply with this order.

The Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and the Administrator of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), shall develop and send to agency heads a Federal Hiring Plan that brings to the federal workforce only highly skilled Americans dedicated to the furtherance of American ideals, values, and interests, and not be based on impermissible factors, such as one’s commitment to illegal racial discrimination under the guise of “equity,” one’s commitment to the invented concept of “gender identity” over sex. In addition, the Federal Hiring Plan shall take into account, among other things, integrating modern technology to support the recruitment and selection process and the introduction of specific “best practices” for the human resources functions in federal agencies.
