President Trump is set to sign an executive order declaring English the official language of the U.S., overturning a 2000 mandate requiring language assistance for non-English speakers. While agencies may still offer multilingual services, the move aims to promote unity and efficiency.

Cracking down on illegal immigration has been a key focus of Trump’s presidency. He has voiced concerns over non-English-speaking migrants and their impact on schools and communities. In line with this stance, his administration previously removed the Spanish-language White House website and social media accounts.

More than 30 states already recognize English as their official language, though past attempts to pass a national law have failed. Vice President J.D. Vance previously introduced the English Language Unity Act, which proposed requiring federal business to be conducted in English.

Meanwhile, Trump is reshaping the federal government, warning that a million federal workers are “on the bubble” for not responding to an email justifying their jobs. Adviser Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, stated they would send another email before taking action.
