Trump to Sign Executive Orders on Immigration, Energy, Government Hiring (Wall Street Journal)

In a move that has alarmed progressive leaders and advocacy groups, President-elect Donald Trump is poised to implement a series of executive orders that could undercut years of progress on immigration reform and environmental protection. His plans, revealed in a briefing to Republican leaders, include measures that critics say will harm immigrants and favor polluting energy sources over sustainable alternatives. The decision to also freeze government hiring is raising concerns about the ability of federal agencies to serve the public and protect the nation's natural resources.

President-elect Donald Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders that demonstrate his commitment to strengthening national security, revitalizing the energy sector, and streamlining an bloated federal government. In a strategic move briefed to senior GOP leaders, Trump's executive orders will address the urgent need for stricter immigration controls, support for domestic energy production, and a more efficient government workforce. These initiatives are seen as pivotal steps in restoring the nation's prosperity and safeguarding its citizens.
