Trump’s Sweeping Agenda Hits Legal Rodblocks

“The courts are slamming the brakes on some of President Donald Trump’s efforts to quickly trim and transform the federal government,” NBC News reports.

“In his first weeks in office, Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders aimed at reshaping the government, from targeting birthright citizenship to changing how transgender inmates are housed. Government agencies have also used the orders to try to freeze federal funding nationwide and offer buyouts to the bulk of government employees.”

“The flood of orders has led to over two dozen lawsuits to date and a number of court decisions halting — at least temporarily — some of Trump’s actions. At least three such decisions were released Thursday.”
