Agenda 47 PDF: Proposals, 2025 Actions, and Legal Challenges

There is no single official Agenda 47 PDF released by the Trump campaign. Agenda 47 was rolled out between December 2022 and December 2023 as a series of individual policy pages and videos on donaldjtrump.com/agenda47, not as one downloadable file.¹²³

Where the Consolidated Document Lives

If you are searching for a PDF, the document that best represents Agenda 47 in one place is the 2024 Republican Party platform. It was drafted by Trump’s aides, references Trump throughout, and lists twenty specific promises that mirror Agenda 47’s core proposals nearly verbatim — including conducting the “largest deportation operation in American history,” closing the Department of Education, and building a missile defense shield.⁴ At 16 pages, it is far shorter than the 2016 Republican platform, which exceeded 60 pages.³

The individual Agenda 47 policy pages, each with a written summary and a video of Trump explaining the proposal, remained accessible on the campaign website even after the platform was formalized.¹

What Agenda 47 Proposes

The agenda spans domestic and foreign policy. The proposals below reflect what the campaign published and what the 2024 platform incorporated.

Immigration

Agenda 47 calls for ending automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally, closing the border to asylum seekers, stopping refugee admissions, and suspending visa programs including family-based visas and the diversity visa lottery.⁵ It also proposes cutting federal funding for sanctuary cities, barring undocumented immigrants from federal benefits, and creating a center for “extreme vetting” of immigrants.

Economy and Trade

The economic pillar centers on tariffs and deregulation. It proposes universal tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on all foreign imports, tariffs of 60 percent or higher on Chinese goods, and a Reciprocal Trade Act imposing retaliatory tariffs on any country charging higher duties on American exports.⁶ The agenda also calls for cutting federal regulations and taxes, banning federal contracts with companies that outsource to China, and encouraging domestic manufacturing.⁵

Federal Workforce and Government Reform

A ten-point plan targets what the campaign called the “deep state.” It calls for re-issuing the 2020 Schedule F executive order to make it easier to fire federal employees in policy-related roles, relocating up to 100,000 federal positions out of Washington, D.C., reforming the FISA court system, establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify records, making each Inspector General’s office physically independent from the agency it oversees, and pressing criminal charges against government leakers.⁷ The platform also proposes a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits and a ban on federal employees taking jobs at companies they previously regulated.

Education

Agenda 47 proposes eliminating the Department of Education and shifting control over schools to the states. It calls for nationwide universal school choice, cutting federal funding for schools teaching “critical race theory” or “gender ideology,” abolishing teacher tenure, adopting merit-based pay, and creating a new credentialing body for teachers who “embrace patriotic values.”⁸ It also encourages prayer in public schools and reinstates the 1776 Commission to shape history instruction.⁵

Healthcare

The healthcare planks include mandating domestic production of essential medicines and medical devices and requiring pharmaceutical companies to offer Americans the “best price” available to foreign nations. The agenda pledges no cuts to Social Security or Medicare, proposing to fund those programs through reductions in foreign aid and other spending.⁵ It also proposes banning public camping for homeless individuals and creating large tent cities with onsite social services.

Crime and Social Policy

The platform calls for increased police funding, expanded liability protections for officers, and support for stop-and-frisk policing. It proposes hiring 100 new U.S. attorneys to investigate “left-leaning” district attorneys. On social policy, it proposes federal legislation defining gender as exclusively male or female assigned at birth, removing healthcare providers offering gender-affirming care for minors from Medicare and Medicaid, and defunding schools where staff discuss gender identity.⁵

Defense

Agenda 47 envisions a “Golden Dome” missile defense shield over the United States, modeled on Israel’s Iron Dome. The administration’s budget legislation included $24.4 billion to begin the program, and the 2026 National Defense Strategy placed the initiative at the center of homeland defense.⁹ A May 2026 Congressional Budget Office report estimated the full program at $1.2 trillion over 20 years, requiring several thousand satellites, six ICBM defense sites, and 35 regional defense sites.¹⁰

Elections

The platform pledges to “secure our elections” through mandatory voter identification, proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration, same-day voting, and paper ballots.¹¹ It aligns with the federal SAVE Act, which mandates documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration.

What Has Been Implemented Since January 2025

Since Trump took office on January 20, 2025, much of Agenda 47 has moved into executive orders, proposed and final rules, and legislation. Several major pieces have been blocked, narrowed, or struck down by courts.

Birthright Citizenship Order

On his first day in office, Trump signed Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” which declares that children born in the United States to mothers who are in the country illegally or on temporary visas are not U.S. citizens at birth if the father is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident.¹² Federal courts quickly issued injunctions. On June 27, 2025, in Trump v. CASA, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that universal nationwide injunctions “likely exceed the equitable authority” of federal courts and ordered the lower courts to narrow their orders to the actual parties before them.¹³ The Court did not rule on the constitutionality of the order itself. As of mid-2025, a preliminary injunction in Barbara v. Trump continues to prevent the government from enforcing it.¹⁴

Alien Enemies Act Deportations

In March 2025, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to detain and deport Venezuelan nationals identified as members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and approximately 130 people were sent to a prison in El Salvador.¹⁵ In April 2025, the Supreme Court vacated lower-court orders blocking the deportations but required that detainees receive adequate notice and an opportunity to seek habeas relief in the district where they are held.¹⁶ In September 2025, a divided Fifth Circuit panel ruled against the administration, finding that the government failed to justify classifying TdA members as an “invasion” under the 1798 statute. Litigation continues.

Tariffs

Beginning in February 2025, the administration imposed 25 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, 10 percent on Canadian energy, and 10 percent on Chinese goods, using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act as legal authority.⁶ On February 20, 2026, in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs, applying the major questions doctrine and noting that no president had used IEEPA for tariffs in the law’s 50-year history.¹⁷ The administration has since explored alternative authorities including Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.¹⁸

Schedule F and the Federal Workforce

On day one, Trump signed Executive Order 14171 reinstating Schedule F. In April 2025, the Office of Personnel Management proposed a rule creating a new employment category called “Schedule Policy/Career” for career employees in policy-related roles.¹⁹ OPM finalized the rule in February 2026.²⁰ On June 3, 2026, Trump signed an executive order formally converting about 8,000 positions, roughly 97 percent of which sit at or above the GS-15 pay grade. Employees moved into the new category lose civil service protections and can no longer appeal adverse personnel actions to the Merit Systems Protection Board. A lawsuit challenging the rule is pending.²¹

Drug Pricing

In May 2025, Trump signed an executive order calling for “Most-Favored-Nation” prescription drug pricing to align U.S. drug prices with those in other developed countries. By December 2025, the administration announced 14 deals with pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Pfizer, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and Merck, which agreed to offer reduced pricing in exchange for a three-year reprieve from pharmaceutical tariffs.²² TrumpRx.gov launched in February 2026 as a portal for patients to purchase drugs at reduced prices, and the administration announced plans to cover GLP-1 obesity drugs under Medicare through a pilot program.²³ Participating companies have committed to at least $150 billion in U.S. manufacturing and contributions to a new Strategic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Reserve.

Other Rules and Orders

Gender-affirming care: an executive order signed January 28, 2025, followed by a proposed rule in December 2025, would prohibit Medicare- and Medicaid-certified hospitals from performing gender-affirming care on minors.²⁴
VA reproductive health: a final rule effective December 31, 2025, eliminated abortion counseling and coverage from VA medical benefits, reverting to pre-2022 policy.²⁴
Asylum: a final rule confirming “security bars” for asylum seekers took effect December 31, 2025.²⁴
H-1B visas: a final rule in December 2025 implemented a weighted lottery favoring higher-paid foreign workers.²⁴
Environmental rules: Trump signed a Congressional Review Act resolution nullifying a Biden-era EPA rule on hazardous air pollutants, resetting the standard to 2020.²⁴

The Broader Legal Picture

The administration filed 32 emergency-relief applications with the Supreme Court in 2025, and the Court ruled partially or fully in its favor in 23. At the district court level, roughly 30 percent of decisions in 2025 ruled against the administration or halted its actions. In December 2025, the Supreme Court declined to allow the administration to deploy National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in Chicago, finding the government had not identified authority permitting military execution of civilian law in that context. A district judge also enjoined immigration raid tactics in Los Angeles as Fourth Amendment violations, though the Supreme Court granted an emergency stay in that case.¹⁸ After Trump v. CASA, challenges to federal policy are expected to move increasingly through class actions and Administrative Procedure Act suits rather than the broad nationwide injunctions common during Trump’s first term.²⁵

Agenda 47 Is Not Project 2025

Agenda 47 is often confused with Project 2025, a 900-page policy blueprint assembled by the Heritage Foundation and more than 50 conservative organizations. Trump publicly distanced himself from Project 2025 in July 2024, saying “I know nothing about Project 2025.” The two documents do share substantial ground: concentrating executive power over independent agencies, eliminating civil service protections for federal workers, abolishing the Department of Education, ramping up fossil fuel production, and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement. Several Project 2025 authors now hold senior administration positions, including Russell Vought at the Office of Management and Budget, John Ratcliffe at the CIA, Brendan Carr at the FCC, and Tom Homan as border czar.²⁶

They also diverge. Project 2025 proposes withdrawing the abortion pill mifepristone from the market and expanding federal data collection on abortions; Agenda 47 leaves abortion regulation to the states, and Trump has said he would not sign a national ban. On immigration, Project 2025 focuses on restructuring the Department of Homeland Security, while Agenda 47 centers on mass deportation. On economics, Project 2025 included proposals to abolish the Federal Reserve and return to gold-backed currency, ideas absent from the tariff-centered economic policy Trump has pursued.²⁶
