Authored by msnbc.com

In some cases, Project 2025 was building on Trump's ideas, as with its proposal to reimplement a plan from his first term to gain more control over federal workers.

Below, we took a look at Trump administration decisions that echo proposals from Project 2025.

Project 2025: Proposed an “indefinite curtailment” of the number of refugees admitted under the U.S.

Notable: The executive order cites Springfield, Ohio, where Trump falsely claimed immigrants were stealing and eating pets during the campaign.

Project 2025: Proposed sending active-duty military personnel and National Guard members to “assist in arrest operations along the border” involving drug cartels.

Notable: The White House goes further than Project 2025, which only proposed that military personnel be considered to fight criminal organizations.

Project 2025: Called for barring the FBI from engaging in any activities related to "combating the spread of so-called misinformation or disinformation." »
