Donald Trump commenced his second presidential term with a series of executive orders aimed at repealing his predecessor's policies, particularly focusing on immigration enforcement and energy. The Republican-controlled Congress facilitated this by passing the Laken Riley Act, which permits the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with crimes, prior to any conviction.
