Trump's Executive Orders Impact Federal Workers Nationwide

President Trump has initiated a series of restrictive executive actions as he begins his second term, focusing on immigration, federal workforce mandates, and social policies. In Philadelphia, city officials and advocacy groups express concern over the potential impact, especially as the city maintains its sanctuary status despite federal pressure (Axios, Inquirer). Trump's executive orders also include a hiring freeze and a mandate for federal workers to return to in-person work, affecting many in key hubs like Philadelphia (Washington Post, Inquirer). These policies have left federal employees uncertain about their job security and working conditions (Washington Post). Additionally, Trump has pardoned all January 6 Capitol rioters, exited the Paris climate accord, and plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico (WHYY). The rapid implementation of these orders has sparked widespread apprehension and calls for increased city-level protections and resources (Axios).
