Donald Trump\u2019s first month as the 47th President of the United States has been marked by a flurry of executive orders. From declaring that there are \u201conly two genders\u201d to targeting diversity programs and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Trump\u2019s actions have been bold and controversial.<\/p>\n

He has also continued to push policies against undocumented migrants. Some of his orders have been temporarily blocked by federal judges. On February 18, Trump signed an executive order bringing independent agencies like the FTC and SEC under the White House\u2019s control, which could increase his power significantly.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers had mixed reactions to his first month, with North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer calling it \u201cActive,\u201d Missouri Senator Josh Hawley labeling it \u201cBold,\u201d and Utah\u2019s John Curtis describing it as \u201cAggressive.\u201d Iowa\u2019s Chuck Grassley likened it to a \u201cHurricane,\u201d while Vermont\u2019s Peter Welch accused Trump of going on an \u201cillegal rampage,\u201d and Delaware\u2019s Chris Coons called it \u201cterrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
