Sequestration Order for Fiscal Year 2027 Pursuant to Section 251A of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as Amended
This presidential order triggers automatic spending cuts (sequestration) for fiscal year 2027, requiring OMB-calculated reductions to direct spending in non-exempt budget accounts effective October 1, 2026, as mandated by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act.
Measures To End Cashless Bail and Enforce the Law in the District of Columbia
This executive order directs federal law enforcement to hold D.C. arrestees in federal custody and pursue federal charges to circumvent the District's cashless bail policies, and tasks the Attorney General with reviewing MPD policies and determining whether D.C. maintains cashless bail. If the determination is affirmative, all agency heads must identify actions—including federal funding leverage—to pressure D.C. to change its pretrial release policies.
Taking Steps To End Cashless Bail To Protect Americans
This executive order directs the Attorney General to identify state and local jurisdictions with cashless bail policies for certain crimes, and requires federal agencies to find federal funds flowing to those jurisdictions that may be suspended or terminated. It does not itself cut any funds but sets up a conditional funding review process targeting jurisdictions that have eliminated cash bail for public-safety-threatening offenses.
Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations
This executive order directs federal agencies to catalog all criminal regulatory offenses, establish default mental-state (mens rea) requirements for future criminal enforcement, and discourage prosecution of strict liability regulatory crimes where defendants lacked knowledge of the rule. It exempts immigration and national security enforcement from its scope.
Ensuring Commercial, Cost-Effective Solutions in Federal Contracts
This executive order directs federal agencies to prioritize commercially available products and services in procurement rather than custom-developed or government-unique solutions. It establishes a review process for pending non-commercial solicitations and requires ongoing approval authority oversight for future non-commercial procurements, with reporting to OMB.
Addressing Risks From Susman Godfrey
This executive order targets the law firm Susman Godfrey LLP by suspending security clearances for its personnel, restricting federal contracts with the firm and its business partners, limiting federal building access and official engagement with its employees, and barring their federal hiring without waivers. The order frames these measures as responses to alleged election-related litigation, DEI practices, and activities deemed contrary to national interests.
Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers
This executive order directs all federal agencies to review their regulations and identify those that are anti-competitive—such as rules creating monopolies, barriers to entry, or burdensome licensing requirements—with recommendations for rescission or modification. The FTC Chairman and Attorney General will consolidate these findings for OMB review, with the goal of incorporating changes into the Unified Regulatory Agenda.
Restoring America's Maritime Dominance
This executive order directs a comprehensive, interagency effort to rebuild U.S. commercial and defense shipbuilding capacity, expand the maritime workforce, and counter China's dominance in global shipbuilding. It mandates numerous reports and legislative proposals within 30-210 days, including a Maritime Action Plan, tariffs on Chinese-origin ship-to-shore cranes and cargo handling equipment, enforcement of harbor maintenance fees, financial incentives for domestic shipbuilding, maritime prosperity zones, and modernization of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting To Unleash American Energy
This executive order directs EPA, DOE, FERC, NRC, and several Interior Department subcomponents to implement a sunset system where existing energy-related regulations automatically expire unless agencies actively extend them after cost-benefit review. All covered regulations must receive a Conditional Sunset Date by September 30, 2025, with existing regulations expiring one year after the sunset rule's effective date unless extended. New regulations must include sunset dates no more than 5 years out.
Addressing Risks From WilmerHale
This executive order targets the law firm WilmerHale, directing federal agencies to suspend security clearances held by its personnel, cease provision of government facilities and services, require contractor disclosure of business with the firm, review and terminate contracts where legally permissible, limit official access to federal buildings, and restrict hiring of WilmerHale employees without waivers. The order cites the firm's pro bono work, its hiring of former Mueller investigation prosecutors, and alleged racial discrimination as justifications.
Addressing Risks From Jenner & Block
This executive order targets Jenner & Block LLP, a major law firm, by suspending security clearances for its personnel, restricting federal contracts with the firm and its business partners, limiting its employees' access to federal buildings and officials, and barring agency hiring of Jenner employees without waivers. The order cites the firm's alleged partisan "lawfare," pro bono activities, racial discrimination in hiring, and its employment of former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann as justifications.
Addressing Risks From Paul Weiss
This executive order targets the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP by suspending security clearances for its personnel, restricting government contracts with the firm and entities doing business with it, limiting federal building access for its employees, and restricting federal hiring of its personnel. The order cites the firm's pro bono litigation related to January 6, 2021, its hiring of Mark Pomerantz, and alleged racial discrimination through DEI practices as justifications.
Addressing Risks From Perkins Coie LLP
Executive Order 14230 targets the law firm Perkins Coie LLP with multiple punitive measures: suspending security clearances, ceasing government provision of goods and services, requiring contractor disclosure of business with the firm, reviewing and terminating contracts, investigating the firm and other large law firms for racial discrimination, and restricting federal employees from hiring or engaging with Perkins Coie personnel. The order frames these actions as responses to the firm's alleged role in producing the 2016 Steele dossier, election-related litigation, and DEI hiring practices.
Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy
This executive order directs the elimination or reduction of several federal entities and programs deemed unnecessary, including the Presidio Trust, Inter-American Foundation, US African Development Foundation, and US Institute of Peace. It also terminates multiple federal advisory committees, revokes a 1961 presidential memorandum to eliminate Federal Executive Boards, ends the Presidential Management Fellows Program, and requires White House policy aides to identify additional entities for termination within 30 days.
Regulatory Freeze Pending Review
This memorandum freezes new federal rulemaking and withdraws pending rules until political appointees appointed after January 20, 2025 review and approve them. It also postpones effective dates of recently published rules for 60 days to allow review, with OMB oversight and emergency exceptions.
