Executive Order 14148

Executive Order 14148, titled "Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions", is an executive order signed by United States president Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second presidential term. The order directed the rescindment of several executive orders enacted during the Biden administration.

The main focus of the order was to rescind diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the US Government, specific climate and environmental regulations, and certain border policies.

This was the first of the new President Trump's executive orders and was a mass undoing of the previous president's policies on a wide range of issues. Its core effect was the rescinding of several executive orders ordered by President Biden. It was followed that day by 25 other executive orders covering a wide range of policies and was signed in an open to the public event with attendance by Vice President JD Vance.

The executive order explicitly rescinded 68 executive orders and 11 presidential memoranda from the Biden Administration. It also ordered heads of federal agencies to "take immediate steps to end Federal implementation of unlawful and radical DEI ideology". Additionally the order ordered, the Director of the Domestic Policy Council (DPC) and the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC) should review all Federal Government actions taken in accordance to the rescinded orders and take necessary steps to rescind, replace, or amend such actions when appropriate. It also ordered that within 45 days (before March 6), the DPC and NEC Directors should give the President further orders, issued by the prior administration that should be rescinded, as well as a list of "replacement orders, memoranda, or proclamations, to increase American prosperity". Lastly, it ordered the National Security Advisor (NSA) to review all Biden era National Security Memoranda for "harm to national security, domestic resilience, and American values" and within 45 days recommend a list for rescindment.

The rescission of Biden's Executive Order 14074 deactivated the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database which tracked federal police misconduct.

In addition to the retraction of DEI policies in the federal government, the order rescinded the following executive orders:

Executive Order 14020 was rescinded twice, once in this executive order and then again in Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.

On the same day, the new President signed an executive order titled, "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government".
