List of executive orders signed by Trump
President Donald Trump on Monday signed a series of executive orders addressing immigration, climate policies, and international relations.
The actions also included controversial pardons and reversals of previous administration policies.
Immigration Policies
Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border and announced plans for a large-scale deportation operation involving military resources. He signed an order to revoke birthright citizenship, a move expected to face legal challenges, as citizenship for those born in the U.S. is protected by the Constitution pardons for several individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. He referred to those convicted or who pleaded guilty as “hostages” and justified the pardons as a gesture to his supporters.
Diversity and Inclusion
Trump repealed several orders promoting diversity, equality, and LGBTQ rights. He announced that the federal government would only recognize “two genders, male and female,” rolling back protections introduced under previous administrations.
Climate Policies
Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, marking his second exit from the accord. He justified the decision by emphasizing energy independence and signed an order declaring a “national energy emergency,” expanding oil and gas drilling across the nation.
Work-from-Home Policies
Another executive order ended remote work allowances for federal employees, requiring them to return to full-time office schedules. Trump criticized the work-from-home model that became prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
International Relations
Trump signed an order to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, claiming the country was contributing more financially than China. He also delayed enforcing a ban on TikTok, giving its Chinese parent company 75 days to sell a significant stake to U.S. entities.
Additionally, Trump revoked sanctions against Israeli settlers accused of violence in the West Bank and removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, reversing actions taken by the Biden administration.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has announced the postponement of the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise until after the 2027 General Election.
This follows a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, on Friday, April 10.
A statement signed by INEC’s National Commissioner, Chairman, Informationa and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna, said
“the voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of the Commission’s mandate to maintain a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters.
It is designed to verify and review existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register.
The exercise also aims to provide an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.
INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections.”
Following the just conducted ADC Congress, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ideato South Local Government Area, Imo State, has announced its new leadership team. The team, led by Chairman Hon. Eze Chijioke, includes:

ADC Owerri Municipal Gets New Chairman: Hon. Success Opara Emerges Amidst State Leadership Tussle
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Owerri Municipal, Imo State, has concluded its Local Government Area Congress, with Hon. Success Opara emerging as the new Chairman. The congress, conducted in all wards across Owerri Municipal, saw party faithfuls voting for Opara, who is expected to lead the party to victory in future elections.
However, there’s an ongoing leadership tussle within the Imo State ADC, with Chief Emmanuel Amushie claiming to be the authentic state chairman, recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). On the other hand, Prof. James Okoroma has also been declared the authentic state chairman by the national leadership of the ADC.
Furthermore the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has removed the faction led by Prof. James Okoroma as the recognized leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Imo State, as of April 9, 2026. INEC recognizes only the Amuchie-led Executive as the lawful and legitimate leadership of the ADC in Imo State.
The removal follows a Court of Appeal ruling directing parties to maintain the status quo pending the determination of a substantive suit before the Federal High Court. INEC has also suspended recognition of all leadership factions of the ADC until the court reaches a final decision.
