Trump, who said he would not be a dictator “except for Day 1” of his presidency, signed a record number of executive orders on Monday.

President Trump signed an executive order that "suspends the physical entry of aliens engaged in an invasion of the United States through the southern border." Plus, all federal diversity, equity and inclusion employees were put on paid leave Wednesday evening following a White House memo.

From ending birthright citizenship to declaring an emergency at the southern border, Trump signed several orders restricting immigration.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a blizzard of executive orders and taken other actions since being sworn in on Monday on scores of issues that could have an impact on the lives of millions of Americans and non-citizens.
