Trump to sign order making English the official language of the United States

President Trump issued an executive order making English the official language of the United States, a first for the country. This action reverses a previous directive requiring federal agencies to provide services in multiple languages. The new order allows agencies flexibility in offering non-English services. The administration aims to encourage immigrants to adopt English for better opportunities. This move is part of a broader crackdown on illegal immigration, including increased border security and expanded ICE authority. Despite these efforts, Trump's deportation numbers are currently lower than Biden's. Trump has expressed frustration over the pace of deportations, leading to personnel changes within ICE. While English is the dominant language, hundreds of other languages are spoken in the U.S., a fact Trump has criticized. Trump's actions reflect a broader policy shift towards stricter immigration enforcement and language assimilation.
