Trump's order dealing with US refugee resettlement will suspend the program for at least four months and will order a review of security to see if travelers from certain nations should be subject to a travel ban, the official said.

"The United States lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants," the order said.

Birthright citizenship Trump signed an order withholding US citizenship from children of undocumented immigrants born in the US after Feb. 19.

The move, expected to face legal challenge, seeks to end a right enshrined for over 150 years in the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, which states that "all persons born" in the US "are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Undoing Biden actions At a rally at a sports arena, Trump revoked 78 executive actions of the previous administration.

"I'll revoke nearly 80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration," Trump said.

Trump also said he will sign an order directing every agency to preserve all records pertaining to "political persecutions" under the Biden administration.

The rescission applied to executive orders spanning from former president Joe Biden's first day in office in 2021 to as recently as last week, and covered topics from COVID relief to the promotion of clean energy industries.

Diversity Trump also rescinded executive orders that had promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and promoted rights for LGBTQ+ people and racial minorities, fulfilling promises to curtail protections for the most marginalized Americans.

Among the 78 repealed executive orders signed by Biden, including at least a dozen measures supporting racial equity and combating discrimination against gay and transgender people.
