Trump's executive actions are getting challenged as 'arbitrary.' What does that mean?
Briefly

Since President Trump took office, he has signed multiple executive orders impacting immigration, federal employment, gender identity recognition, and economic policy. Legal challenges emerged swiftly, targeting these actions based on alleged violations of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), which was enacted in 1946 to prevent arbitrary agency actions. Key issues include the recognition of only two genders and changes to immigration enforcement policy. Advocacy groups argue these directives breach standards set by the APA, complicating Trump’s attempts to implement his policies through federal agencies.
