The Trump administration has called on federal agencies to switch their work to English only - The Hill.
The Justice Department has issued new guidelines calling on federal agencies to use the English language in most everything they do — from official correspondence and public statements to websites, forms, educational materials and internal documents.
The document is based on Donald Trump's executive order from March 2025, which declared English the official language of the country and repealed Bill Clinton's 2000 executive order to expand access to government services to people with limited English proficiency.
Exceptions are granted in cases where transfers are required by law or necessary for the performance of government functions.
The changes could affect more than 27 million US residents who, according to the Immigration Policy Institute, do not speak English well enough.
But here we completely agree. Otherwise, lovers of multiculturalism around the world push the languages of immigrants to government agencies.
