Washington — President Trump's cascade of executive actions announced soon after he took office has already prompted more than half a dozen legal challenges before the end of his first week. And they're likely just the opening salvos in a series of court battles that will play out as federal agencies begin the work of executing the president's directives.
In the hours and days after his inauguration Monday, Mr. Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders, memorandums and proclamations tackling a wide range of policy issues, from immigration to federal hiring and remote work to energy.
His wave of Day 1 signings wasn't unusual — his predecessor issued more than a dozen executive actions on his first day in the White House — and neither are Mr. Trump's unilateral efforts to change policy. But whether his proposals are ultimately implemented by federal agencies in the face of legal challenges remains to be seen.
