Tracking the Legal Showdown Over Trump’s Executive Orders

President Donald Trump unleashed a flurry of executive orders during his first week in office, ranging from withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate to ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government.

The steps represented many of the Day One promises he made during his reelection campaign.

“You’re going to see executive orders that are going to make you extremely happy,” Trump said at a rally the day before his inauguration. “Lots of them.”

The executive orders, however, didn’t make everyone happy, and lawsuits immediately started piling up.

Executive orders have limited staying power, as they can easily be reversed by the next president. And that’s if they survive the legal challenges.

U.S. News is tracking lawsuits challenging some of Trump’s biggest executive orders. The list will be updated as new lawsuits are filed.
