President Donald Trump signed three new executive orders on Monday aimed at reshaping immigration, law enforcement practices, and language requirements for commercial drivers, reported NBC News.
The first order focuses on law enforcement, directing the attorney general to prioritize prosecuting state and local government officials who "willfully and unlawfully" obstruct criminal law enforcement, including those promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This comes after the FBI's recent arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, accused of impeding the detention of an undocumented immigrant.
The second executive order addresses immigration, instructing the attorney general to identify sanctuary jurisdictions and pursue measures to withhold federal funding from those areas.
The third order mandates English proficiency for truck drivers, reversing Obama-era guidance from 2016. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been directed to rescind that previous guidance within 60 days and issue new rules requiring non-English-proficient drivers to be placed out of service.
This follows an earlier executive order Trump signed last month, officially declaring English the national language of the United States for the first time in history.
