Fifty executive orders were signed on Trump’s first day in his second presidential administration, many attacking trans folks, immigrants and diversity-and-inclusion provisions. We start today’s show walking through many of the orders and what they mean with Shawn Musgrave, a media law attorney and reporter based in New York, who also reports for The Intercept. His recent articles include “The War on Immigrants: The pregnant immigrants fighting Trumps bid to end birthright citizenship” and “Trump’s executive orders are full of deadlines and we are tracking them”.
