Imposing Sanctions on Those Responsible for Repression in Cuba and for Threats to United States National Security and Foreign Policy
This Presidential Action, issued under the authority granted by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the National Emergencies Act (NEA), builds upon the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14380 concerning the policies and actions of the Government of Cuba.
The order directs the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury to block the property and interests in property of foreign persons determined to be involved in operating within key destabilizing sectors of the Cuban economy, engaging in serious human rights abuses, or corruption.
Furthermore, it suspends the entry of such designated aliens into the United States and authorizes sanctions, including blocking U.S.-held assets, against foreign financial institutions that facilitate transactions for blocked persons.

Liberating the Department of Homeland Security From the Democrat-Caused Shutdown
This Presidential Memorandum, issued to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, declares a national security emergency due to the failure of congressional Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), resulting in unpaid employees.
The President directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to use available DHS-related funds to immediately compensate all DHS employees for the pay and benefits they missed during the shutdown, ensuring that critical operations like border security and disaster response (FEMA) remain staffed and capable until Congress reinstates regular funding.
Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections
This Presidential Action mandates significant steps to ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens participate in Federal elections, asserting the President's duty to enforce election laws and maintain public confidence.
The order directs the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to compile and transmit State Citizenship Lists—containing verified citizens eligible to vote—to state election officials.
Furthermore, it mandates the Postmaster General to initiate rulemaking within the USPS to require unique, trackable identifiers (like barcodes) on outbound official election mail envelopes for absentee or mail-in ballots, and it directs the Attorney General to prioritize investigations into violations related to issuing ballots to non-citizens.
The action also outlines procedures for data sharing, enforcement, and compliance deadlines.
Establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud
This Presidential Action establishes the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud within the Executive Office of the President, chaired by the Vice President, to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy against fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded benefit programs administered by states.
The order cites extensive fraud in programs like SNAP and Medicaid, often exacerbated by lax state controls and alleged political motivations, and directs the Task Force to mandate minimum anti-fraud standards, improve eligibility verification, coordinate data sharing, and pursue enforcement actions, including examination of withholding funds from non-compliant jurisdictions.
