90 Fed. Reg. 8237 (Jan. 28, 2025)

Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions

By the authority vested in me as President by the 
               Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
               America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

               Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The previous 
               administration has embedded deeply unpopular, 
               inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within 
               every agency and office of the Federal Government. The 
               injection of ``diversity, equity, and inclusion'' (DEI) 
               into our institutions has corrupted them by replacing 
               hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive and 
               dangerous preferential hierarchy. Orders to open the 
               borders have endangered the American people and 
               dissolved Federal, State, and local resources that 
               should be used to benefit the American people. Climate 
               extremism has exploded inflation and overburdened 
               businesses with regulation.

               To commence the policies that will make our Nation 
               united, fair, safe, and prosperous again, it is the 
               policy of the United States to restore common sense to 
               the Federal Government and unleash the potential of the 
               American citizen. The revocations within this order 
               will be the first of many steps the United States 
               Federal Government will take to repair our institutions 
               and our economy.

               Sec. 2. Revocation of Orders and Actions. The following
