Trump’s Executive Orders Threaten Broad Range of Human Rights

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump issued executive orders that Human Rights Watch says threaten international human rights. These orders block refugees, restrict birthright citizenship, target transgender individuals, and pause foreign development assistance. The orders also include enhanced vetting for visa applicants and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords. These actions could lead to racial profiling, harm to Palestinians, and undermine global efforts to address climate change.
