The Justice Department has released guidance for federal agencies to comply with President Trump’s Executive Order making English the official language of the United States and says the agency will lead the effort.
“As President Trump has made clear, English is the official language of the United States,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said last week. “The department 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.”
Among the “Immediate Compliance Actions” in the DOJ’s seven-page guidance document is that the department will “complete a full internal inventory of all existing non-English services, and release department-wide plans to phase out unnecessary multilingual offerings.”
The department will also consider redirecting money allocated to such services toward research and programs that will “expedite English-language acquisition and increase English-language proficiency and assimilation,” the document states.
The U.S. has never had an official language. However, English was already the official language in 30 states.
