On March 1, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.
Notably, although the order states that Executive Order 13166 of August 11, 2000 (Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency), is revoked, the order does not require or direct any change in the services provided by any agency: “Agency heads should make decisions as they deem necessary to fulfill their respective agencies’ mission and efficiently provide Government services to the American people. Agency heads are not required to amend, remove, or otherwise stop production of documents, products, or other services prepared or offered in languages other than English.”
