President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Wednesday that will terminate “any and all” federal taxpayer-funded benefits that are going to illegal aliens, according to reports.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin wrote on X Wednesday, “Per WH official on background, later tonight, President Trump will sign an executive order designed to terminate any & all federal taxpayer benefits going to illegal aliens.”

“The order will direct every federal agency & department to identify all federally funded programs currently providing any financial benefits to illegal aliens, and ‘take corrective action’, ensuring that any federal funds to states and localities ‘will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.’ Additionally, the executive order will mandate improvements in eligibility verification to prevent federal benefits from going to anyone in the US illegally.”
“A WH official tells @FoxNews the executive order will show Trump is committed to prioritizing that federal public health benefits go towards American citizens, including veterans,” Melugin added.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Can confirm! No more benefits to illegal aliens.”

The latest example of the abuse of taxpayer funds going to illegals took place last week when Elon Musk’s DOGE discovered FEMA sent $59 million to luxury hotels in New York to shelter illegal aliens, in defiance of President Trump’s executive order establishing a counsel to review FEMA operations and root out political bias within the agency.
Fortunately, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem managed to claw back the $59 million and fired the four agency officials involved in the subversive transaction.
“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” a DHS spokesperson said last Tuesday.
“Firings include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people.”
The expected EO would represent a massive shift from the Biden administration’s blanket welfare policy for illegals, which provided medical care, housing, education and other welfare benefits like cars and business loans for tens of millions of illegal aliens, which cost taxpayers over $450 billion since 2021, according to a 2023 House Homeland Security Committee report.
If applied from 2021 to 2025, that could imply a cumulative range of $1-2 trillion in taxpayer funds.
