Trump Ends ‘Illegal Discrimination’ in Latest Executive Order
Whitehouse: “Illegal DEI and DEIA policies not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system.”
“Hardworking Americans who deserve a shot at the American Dream should not be stigmatized, demeaned, or shut out of opportunities because of their race or sex.”
“It is the policy of the United States to protect the civil rights of all Americans and to promote individual initiative, excellence, and hard work.”
“I therefore order all executive departments and agencies (agencies) to terminate all discriminatory and illegal preferences, mandates, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements.”
This action also revoked a long list of Biden-era executive actions.

Growing List of States Joining Lawsuit Over Trump Birthright Citizenship Order
Those joining the lawsuit include: NEW JERSEY, MASSACHUSETTS, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, HAWAII, MAINE, MARYLAND, PEOPLE OF MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WISCONSIN and CITY & COUNTY OF
SAN FRANCISCO
President Trump’s Executive Order “Protecting the meaning and value of American Citizenship” aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are either unlawfully present or temporarily in the country.
Here’s why it’s important – A pregnant woman (non-U.S. citizen) on a flight that temporarily lands in the U.S. who gives birth would have a child who is automatically a U.S. citizen with today’s laws. Or a mother who crosses the border illegally to give birth to a child on U.S. soil. This EO would reverse that.
The Fourteenth Amendment states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
The left will argue “born or naturalized”, the right will argue “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
