Donald Trump listed his intended Day 1 executive orders while being sworn back into the White House as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, saying in his inauguration speech that he will declare a national emergency at the southern border with Mexico, end the Green New Deal to “drill baby drill” and eradicate “government censorship.”

“Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents — something I know something about,” he quipped. “Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.”

Alongside declaring a national emergency at the southern border, Trump will kick off his second presidency by halting “illegal entry” into the U.S.
