President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Wednesday, aiming to block taxpayer funds from supporting illegal immigration, eliminate regulations his administration deems excessive, and dismantle several government agencies.

One of the key orders directs all federal agencies to identify and halt funding for programs benefiting undocumented migrants.

Additionally, it cuts off federal funds to state and local “sanctuary” jurisdictions—cities that prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officers.

Another order mandates a sweeping review of all federal regulations, requiring agency heads to work with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to eliminate rules that conflict with Trump’s policy agenda.

The initiative is part of Musk’s broader government cost-cutting plan, which has faced legal challenges but remains a key focus of Trump’s second term agenda.

Trump also signed an order to dissolve several advisory committees and independent agencies, reinforcing his push to consolidate executive authority.

Among the agencies slated for disbandment:

• The United States Institute for Peace, which promotes global conflict resolution
• The Inter-American Foundation, which funds community development in Latin America and the Caribbean
• The U.S. African Development Foundation, which supports economic projects in African communities

Trump signed the new orders mid-flight, aboard Air Force One, during his return trip from Florida to Washington.

With these latest actions, Trump continues his aggressive push to reshape federal policies, reducing government spending, tightening immigration laws, and centralizing executive control—moves that are likely to face intense political and legal scrutiny.
