DOJ unveils guidance on Trump's English language order

The Department of Justice on Monday unveiled guidance for the agency to implement President Donald Trump's executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.

"As President Trump has made clear, English is the official language of the United States," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. "The Department of Justice will lead the effort to codify the President’s Executive Order and eliminate wasteful virtue-signaling policies across government agencies to promote assimilation over division."

Trump, in early March, signed an executive order asserting that “[a] nationally designated language is at the core of a unified and cohesive society, and the United States is strengthened by a citizenry that can freely exchange ideas in one shared language."

The effect will see the DOJ lead the federal government in attempting to minimize  multilingual services and emphasize English-language education.
