To mark the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term, Human Rights Watch has cataloged 100 of the administration’s executive policies, orders, and actions that pose significant risks to the human rights of people living in the United States and around the world. In some cases, these rights-abusive policies are moving ahead, and in other cases they are being reviewed, curtailed, or stopped by courts. In many cases, they are being resisted by ordinary people inside and outside the US. The deep and lasting harm to human rights has yet to be fully understood; therefore, this list is not comprehensive but instead offers a snapshot of the implications of the administration’s actions on people’s lives in its first 100 days.
