THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S FIRST WEEK EXECUTIVE ACTIONS

The document analyzes several executive actions from January 2025, highlighting a shift toward increased fossil fuel production, the suspension of offshore wind leasing, and the removal of environmental regulations. It emphasizes the disproportionate negative impacts these policies may have on Latino/a/e communities, specifically regarding public health, water equity, and clean energy employment.

• The administration has declared a national energy emergency to accelerate energy project approvals and increase domestic fossil fuel production by bypassing regulatory processes such as the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act.
• Offshore wind energy leasing and permitting have been indefinitely withdrawn from the Offshore Continental Shelf, which the document describes as a significant blow to the green jobs sector, noting that Latino/a/es make up approximately 18% of the clean energy workforce.
• Executive actions targeting California water management aim to route more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to Central Valley farms and Southern California cities, potentially harming vulnerable fish species and ecological resources.
• The administration is prioritizing energy development in Alaska, specifically LNG projects and oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Coastal Plain, which threatens public lands including the Tongass National Forest.
• Broad regulatory rollbacks include the rescission of NEPA regulations, the termination of the American Climate Corps, and a pause on the disbursement of IRA and IIJA funds, including those for electric vehicle charging stations.
