Elected officials in Queens have vocally criticized President Donald Trump's initial actions in office, particularly the sweeping executive orders he signed targeting immigration, environmental policies, and various social issues. Key actions included halting birthright citizenship, declaring a national emergency at the southern border, and withdrawing from major international agreements like the Paris climate accords. Critics argue these measures signal a significant policy shift that could have lasting impacts on human rights and climate issues. Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas emphasized the need for New York to act decisively to protect residents' rights during Trump's presidency.
"Already, we have seen Trump revoke critical actions from the Biden administration, which were important to protect reproductive rights, combat climate change, and keep families together."
"Elected officials in Queens have sharply criticized President Trump's first day in office, condemning the flurry of executive orders he signed immediately after his inauguration."
