I'm doing my best to stay informed without relying on news broadcasters or the media. I am not a professional journalist, nor do I have any degrees that make me qualified to speak on politics. However, I am an American citizen and I want to stay up to date on the laws that are being passed in my country. I know a lot of people don't always read the laws that the media is talked about. My goal is to read the laws people are talking about and then provide a summary of them here.

If you're like me, you've been seeing a lot of things on Trump revoking United States citizenship, but you haven't seen anybody explain what that means or what executive order it was in.

Here's the TLDR:

The executive order is titled "Protecting The Meaning and Value of American Citizenship" and was signed January 20, 2025

The order states that if your mother and father were not United States citizens or lawful residents when they gave birth to you, then you are not a United States citizen

If your mother and father were not permanent citizens of the United States when they gave birth to you, then you are not a United States citizen

This will go into effect 30 days after being signed which will be on February 19th

What this means for you

This law does not take away citizenship of anybody who already has it. If your parents were illegal immigrants but they gave birth to you on American soil, you are still an American citizen. If your parents are illegal immigrants and give birth to you on American soil after February 19, then you will not be considered an American Citizen.

What is being done about it

A number of states are currently suing President Trump because of this executive order. As of me typing this on January 22nd, the states suing President Trump are:

New Jersey

Massachusetts

California

Colorado

Connecticut

Delaware

Hawaii

Maine

Maryland

Michigan

Minnesota

Nevada

New Mexico

New York

North Carolina

Rhode Island

Vermont

Wisconsin

City of San Francisco

The District of Columbia (Washington D.C.)

Here's what I got:

Declaring that the southern border is under invasion by illegal aliens

All aliens participating in this invasion are prohibited from entering

They can no longer invoke provisions provided by the INA

Homeland Security and the Attorney General can use any appropriate actions to remove illegal immigrants

Renaming landmarks

Denali, the highest peak in North America located in Alaska, will be renamed to Mount McKinley

The Gulf of Mexico will be renamed to the Gulf of America

The names of other American patriots can be submitted to the Secretary of Interior to be honored

International cartels have been declared foreign terrorists

Claims that the Cartel controls certain parts of Mexico

A national emergency has been declared against certain Cartels

A new Federal Hiring Plan has been put in once that prohibits federal offices from hiring based on gender, ethnicity, and religion and instead encourages federal offices to hire people based on their skills and willingness to serve the constitution

Any DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) programs in the government will be ended

There will be enforcement of single-sex spaces and a push for the gender binary

Sex is defined as what you were biologically born as

Gender ideology replaces biology with an ever shifting concept of gender identity

This order defines the terms "female", "male", "boy", and "girl"

Personal records of federal employees must report their sex not gender

Government agencies must cease promoting gender ideology

Prisoners can not receive gender affirming care

Agency heads are to prioritize investigations to enforce the expression of binary sex and single sex spaces

All support provided to trans youth in schools will be reviewed and rescinded

The Department of Government Efficiency has been established

DOGE's objective will be to modernize Government technology

America will be implementing an "American First" foreign policy

The immigration process will be made stricter

This includes thorough health checks, background checks, and criminal history checks

Any immigrants who have entered the United States after January 19, 2021 will be reevaluated

Restrictions placed by the previous administration on Alaska's natural resources will be reversed

The goal is to expedite and maximize the use of Alaska's natural resources for the United States

Enforcing immigrant laws

Accuses illegal immigrants of committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans

Immigration laws will be enforced through lawful incentives and detention capabilities

Homeland Security Task Forces will be established in all states to enforce immigration laws and end the presence of Cartels

All illegal immigrants will be moved to a detention facility

Measures will be put in place to encourage illegal aliens too depart as promptly as possible

Diplomatic efforts will be taken to ensure that other countries take back their illegal aliens

Sanctuary Jurisdictions will no longer receive federal funding should they not comply with federal immigration laws

Illegal aliens will be denied public benefits

These are the highlights of 11 out of the 46 executive orders he signed on the first day of office. I will be slowly posting the rest as there is a lot to go through.
