WASHINGTON Donald Trump promised during his campaign that he would be “dictator from day one” if he won the election and returned to the presidency of the United States.
With his promise, Trump specifically referred to the regulations that he intends to sign on the very first day as president. Trump’s going to sign the first orders at the Congress House immediately after taking the oath of office.
Trump’s is expected issuing up to 200 presidential decrees on its first day. In this story, you can read which of Trump’s orders will have the most immediate impact on everyday life in the United States.
Commencement of mass deportations
Trump has promised to start the largest mass deportations in the country’s history on the first day, so a large part Trump’s regulations are expected to affect immigration policy.
Among the orders expected from Trump, the most significant is the regulation authorizing the authorities to deport people staying in the United States illegally.
About 11 million people live illegally in the United States. About them 435,000 has been convicted of a crime, and the Trump administration is predicted to start deporting those with a criminal record.
Newspapers The New York Times and of the Wall Street Journal according to information, the deportations will start on Tuesday from Chicago, after which the authorities will focus on other big cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
Trump is also expected to declare a national emergency on the country’s southern border and reinstate an order from his first term that requires asylum seekers on the US southern border to stay on the Mexican side while their applications are processed.
Repeal of the birthright of US citizenship
The United States is one of the few countries that guarantees citizenship to all people born on its soil.
The United States guaranteed citizenship to all those born in the country after the Civil War in 1868 with an amendment to the Constitution, in order to improve the human rights of black people. Before the Civil War, the Supreme Court had ruled that blacks had no right to American citizenship.
Trump has no realistic chance of pushing through changes to the constitution, but he is expected trying to abolish the birthright of citizenship still by presidential decree. The decree will almost certainly be challenged in court immediately, and the legal process may eventually go all the way to the country’s highest court.
Trump hopes that a majority of Supreme Court justices will reinterpret the Constitution so that it no longer guarantees citizenship to a child born to a parent living in the United States illegally.
Removal of redundancy protection from federal employees
Trump is expected to remove on the first day approx 50,000 from federal employees dismissal protection.
After the dismissal protection is removed, civil servants can be fired in the following weeks and months. Trump plans to fill the vacancies with allies willing to promote the policies of his administration.
For years, Trump has accused government employees, especially those working in the capital Washington, of being officials of the “deep state” who are holding back the implementation of conservative policies.
Withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement
Trump is expected to withdraw the US immediately on the Paris Climate Agreement. The aim of the climate agreement is to slow down global warming. The Trump administration will announce its withdrawal to the UN, and the US will officially withdraw from the agreement after a year.
Trump is also predicted to give up the position of White House climate affairs assistant.
Trump is also expected to sign several regulations related to energy policy. For example, Trump’s regulations are expected to make it easier to issue new oil drilling permits and harder to issue renewable energy permits.
Trump said earlier in January that his administration will strive to ensure that no windmills are built during his presidency.
Postponing Tiktok ban
Trump announced yesterday Sunday that he will sign a regulation as soon as Monday, which will give the Chinese-owned social media service Tiktok more time to find a new owner for its operations in the United States.
Trump is expected to delay the implementation of the law banning Tiktok for 90 days. Trump said yesterday that he wants half of Tiktok to be owned by the United States.
Tiktok started to restore the functionality of its service in the US yesterday, Sunday, after Trump announced his intention.
Pardons for those who attacked the congress house
Trump is expected mercifully immediately several people who received criminal convictions for the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
Trump has often called those arrested for the attack “hostages”. Before the attack, Trump himself incited his supporters to march on the Capitol to protest.
Trump has not specified whether he intends to pardon people sentenced to prison for a longer period of time for violence against official authority, or only people sentenced for milder offenses.
Almost 1,600 people have been indicted for taking over the Congress building, and almost 1,300 of them have been sentenced. About 700 of those convicted have either already served their prison sentences or did not receive unconditional imprisonment.
A presidential pardon cannot be revoked, so all those pardoned are exonerated once and for all.
