Services that receive federal funding will no longer be required to provide assistance to non-English speakers
President Trump has issued an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States, rescinding requirements for federal-funded services to provide assistance in other languages. This move aligns with his anti-immigrant and anti-diversity policies, emphasizing national unity and civic engagement. Over 30 states have already adopted English as their official language. While federal agencies can still offer services in other languages, the order encourages English learning. The Census Bureau reports that most Americans speak English at home, though many others speak Spanish, Chinese, and Native American languages. This action follows previous attempts by Republicans to legislate English as the national language, which were unsuccessful, and reflects Trump's broader opposition to diversity initiatives.
