Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation
This executive order revokes six Trump-era executive orders that imposed restrictions on federal regulation, including rules requiring two regulations be eliminated for every new one, regulatory cost caps, and limits on agency guidance documents.

Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities
