President Donald Trump - EXECUTIVE ORDERS

------------------------

Lynnwood Times
PRESDIENT DONALD J TRUMP TODAY SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER TO PURGE VOTER ROSTERS OF ALL FOREIGN NATIONALS AND THOSE INELIGIBLE TO VOTE THROUGHOUT THE US AND ITS TERRITORIES
Today President Doanld J Trump signed executive order titled, "PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS that aims to do the following:
👉Enforce Federal laws prohibiting foreign nationals from voting.
👉Require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration.
👉Improve maintenance and accuracy of voter registration lists.
👉Enhance security measures for voting systems to prevent fraud and errors.
👉Mandate voter-verifiable paper records for audits and transparency.
👉Ensure compliance with Federal laws on a uniform Election Day and only county ballots received no later than Election Day which is in direct conflict to Washington state's mail-in ballot process.
👉Investigate and prosecute election-related crimes, such as fraud or intimidation, and foreign nationals voting in elections.

🟦 PREAMBLE TO EXECUTIVE ORDER
Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election.
Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote.
Federal law establishes a uniform Election Day across the Nation for Federal elections, 2 U.S.C. 7 and 3 U.S.C. 1. It is the policy of my Administration to enforce those statutes and require that votes be cast and received by the election date established in law. As the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently held in Republican National Committee v. Wetzel (2024), those statutes set “the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.” Yet numerous States fail to comply with those laws by counting ballots received after Election Day. This is like allowing persons who arrive 3 days after Election Day, perhaps after a winner has been declared, to vote in person at a former voting precinct, which would be absurd.
Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections. Yet States fail adequately to vet voters’ citizenship, and, in recent years, the Department of Justice has failed to prioritize and devote sufficient resources for enforcement of these provisions. Even worse, the prior administration actively prevented States from removing aliens from their voter lists.

🟦 EXECUTIVE ORDER ACTIONS
To enforce the Federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in Federal elections:
(a)(i) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to require, in its national mail voter registration form issued under 52 U.S.C. 20508:
(A) documentary proof of United States citizenship, consistent with 52 U.S.C. 20508(b)(3); and
(B) a State or local official to record on the form the type of document that the applicant presented as documentary proof of United States citizenship, including the date of the document’s issuance, the date of the document’s expiration (if any), the office that issued the document, and any unique identification number associated with the document as required by the criteria in 52 U.S.C. 21083(a)(5)(A), while taking appropriate measures to ensure information security.
(ii) For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, “documentary proof of United States citizenship” shall include a copy of:
(A) a United States passport;
(B) an identification document compliant with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-13, Div. B) that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States;
(C) an official military identification card that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States; or
(D) a valid Federal or State government-issued photo identification if such identification indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship.
(b) To identify unqualified voters registered in the States:
(i) the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered;
(ii) the Secretary of State shall take all lawful and appropriate action to make available information from relevant databases to State and local election officials engaged in verifying the citizenship of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered; and
(iii) the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with Federal requirements.
(c) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, provide to the Attorney General complete information on all foreign nationals who have indicated on any immigration form that they have registered or voted in a Federal, State, or local election, and shall also take all appropriate action to submit to relevant State or local election officials such information.
(d) The head of each Federal voter registration executive department or agency (agency) under the National Voter Registration Act, 52 U.S.C. 20506(a), shall assess citizenship prior to providing a Federal voter registration form to enrollees of public assistance programs.
(e) The Attorney General shall prioritize enforcement of 18 U.S.C. 611 and 1015(f) and similar laws that restrict non-citizens from registering to vote or voting, including through use of:
(i) databases or information maintained by the Department of Homeland Security;
(ii) State-issued identification records and driver license databases; and
(iii) similar records relating to citizenship.
(f) The Attorney General shall, consistent with applicable laws, coordinate with State attorneys general to assist with State-level review and prosecution of aliens unlawfully registered to vote or casting votes.

Trump Demands Probe of 'Rigged' Judicial System - By Charlie McCarthy | Thursday, 27 March 2025

President Donald Trump early Thursday called for "an immediate investigation" into the nation's "rigged" judicial system "before it is too late."

Trump took to his social media platform hours after it was reported U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to preside over a lawsuit brought against the administration over the use of the Signal app for a chat discussing strikes on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

Boasberg recently angered the Trump administration by barring deportations of Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The ruling prompted Trump and allies to call for the judge's impeachment.
------------------
--------------------
Under what conditions can the president invoke the Alien Enemies Act?
The president may invoke the Alien Enemies Act in times of “declared war” or when a foreign government threatens or undertakes an “invasion” or “predatory incursion” against U.S. territory. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to declare war, so the president must wait for democratic debate and a congressional vote to invoke the Alien Enemies Act based on a declared war. But the president need not wait for Congress to invoke the law based on a threatened or ongoing invasion or predatory incursion. The president has inherent authority to repel these kinds of sudden attacks — an authority that necessarily implies the discretion to decide when an invasion or predatory incursion is underway.

President Donald Trump is expected to invoke the controversial 1798 "Alien Enemies" law to speed up deportations as soon as Friday, according to reports. MORE: https://bit.ly/41Peac3

President Donald Trump is expected to invoke the controversial 1798 "Alien Enemies" law to speed up deportations as soon as Friday, reports CNN.

Trump made the promise to do so in October, telling rallygoers he would do so to "target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil" and use the act to initiate a federal effort called "operation Aurora," named after the Colorado town he said had been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
He also pledged the same during his inaugural address.

"Labeling Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization was the first step," a senior White House official told CNN.
The act allows the president to detain, relocate, or deport non-citizens from a country considered an enemy of the U.S. during wartime.

The announcement, according to CNN, will come in the form of a presidential proclamation.

President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 Saturday, targeting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), designating them as a threat to national security.
The 227-year-old wartime law—passed during the Adams administration—allows the president to detain and deport non-citizens from “hostile” nations without due process. The White House cited the gang’s ties to the Venezuelan government and their involvement in drug trafficking and violence. The move follows Trump’s campaign promise to use the Act to address illegal immigration and gang activity.

This is the first time the law has been invoked outside of major conflict since WWII. Legal challenges immediately arose, and a federal judge already issued a temporary restraining order Saturday halting the deportation of five Venezuelans under the Act. It is under appeal.

WASHINGTON -- As early as Friday, President Donald Trump is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act -- a wartime law that allows the president to detain or deport the natives and citizens of an enemy nation -- as part of the efforts to carry out mass deportations, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The Department of Defense is not expected to have a role in the invoking of the authority, which could be used to deport some migrants without a hearing

Pres. Trump took to his social media platform Tuesday morning to say that federal funding will stop for any "College, School, or University that allows illegal protests."
"Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he said.

The Conservative Read
It’s official- President Trump just signed an executive order to TERMINATE all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens and END the subsidization of open borders
Here is the text of the order:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose. The plain text of Federal law, including the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193) (PRWORA), generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits. Title IV of the PRWORA states that it is national policy that "aliens within the Nation's borders not depend on public resources to meet their needs," and that "[i]t is a compelling government interest to remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by the availability of public benefits." But in the decades since the passage of the PRWORA, numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress through that law. Over the last 4 years, in particular, the prior administration repeatedly undercut the goals of that law, resulting in the improper expenditure of significant taxpayer resources.
My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.

Sec. 2. Preserving Federal Public Benefits. 
(a) To prevent taxpayer resources from acting as a magnet and fueling illegal immigration to the United States, and to ensure, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that no taxpayer-funded benefits go to unqualified aliens, the head of each executive department or agency (agency) shall:
(i) identify all federally funded programs administered by the agency that currently permit illegal aliens to obtain any cash or non-cash public benefit, and, consistent with applicable law, take all appropriate actions to align such programs with the purposes of this order and the requirements of applicable Federal law, including the PRWORA;
(ii) ensure, consistent with applicable law, that Federal payments to States and localities do not, by design or effect, facilitate the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration, or abet so-called "sanctuary" policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation; and
(iii) enhance eligibility verification systems, to the maximum extent possible, to ensure that taxpayer-funded benefits exclude any ineligible alien who entered the United States illegally or is otherwise unlawfully present in the United States.

(b) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Administrator of the United States DOGE Service, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, shall further:
(i) identify all other sources of Federal funding for illegal aliens; and
(ii) recommend additional agency actions to align Federal spending with the purposes of this order, and, where relevant, enhance eligibility verification systems.

(c) Agencies shall refer any improper receipt or use of Federal benefits to the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for appropriate action.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. 
(a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
THE WHITE HOUSE, February 19, 2025.
--------------------
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that could make him the most powerful president in history by using an obscure Constitutional theory to enact his vision of authority.

The new order seeks to 'rein in independent agencies' by seizing various departments that normally act in accordance with Congress, bringing them under control of the executive branch in the White House.

The order reiterates that 'all executive power is vested in the President', and he and attorney general will interpret the law, leaving Trump free from Congressional and judicial oversight.
