Section IV: Religious Liberty and the Executive Branch

Following his inauguration as forty-seventh president of the United States, Donald Trump immediately took action to implement his agenda. Many of the executive actions President Trump has taken have both positive and negative religious liberty implications.

Gender Ideology 

As last year’s Annual Report stated, “gender ideology has corroded religious liberty in recent years.” Policies on gender identity implicate religious liberty when religious individuals and organizations are forced to defend their recognition of sexual difference. The Trump administration took steps to combat gender ideology.

On his first day in office, President Trump rescinded seventy-eight executive orders and memoranda issued by the Biden administration.[1] Among these was an Executive Order (EO) called “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation,” which directed government agencies to revise regulations to include prohibitions on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation gender identity. That resulted in the Department of Education (USDE) including gender identity in its interpretation of Title IX, which protects against discrimination the basis of sex in educational programs receiving federal financial assistance.

President Trump also issued an EO directing federal agencies to enforce sex-based distinctions in accordance with “the biological reality of sex” and not “gender identity,”[2] and he issued another that prohibits federal funding for interventions that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex.[3] Bishop Robert Barron, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth, issued a statement in response, saying, “Helping young people accept their bodies and their vocation as women and men is the true path of freedom and happiness.”[4]

Following these directives, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued guidance for agencies and external partners on a binary understanding of sex based in biology,[5] and the Department of Justice (DOJ) proposed legislation that aims to protect children from procedures intended to disrupt the natural development of an individual’s sex characteristics or to attempt to change an individual’s sex.[6]

The Trump administration also took steps to protect girls and women’s sports. He issued an EO instructing agencies to ensure that Title IX protects females in sports and the Secretary of State to promote a policy of biology rather than identity in governing bodies for international competition.[7] Bishop Barron and Bishop David O’Connell, chairman of the Committee on Catholic Education, welcomed the Order, saying “Consistent with the Catholic Church’s clear teaching on the equality of men and women, we reaffirm that, in education and in sports as elsewhere, policies must uphold human dignity. This includes equal treatment between women and men and affirmation of the goodness of a person’s body, which is genetically and biologically female or male.”[8]

Pursuant to the EO, the HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR) initiated a compliance review of the Maine Department of Education to ensure that the state has not been allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.[9] In April, HHS published whistleblower guidance and launched a complaint portal for whistleblowers on the Chemical and Surgical Mutilation of Children.[10] HHS OCR also investigated Minnesota for allowing males to compete in sports reserved for females and both USDE and HHS ultimately found that Minnesota had violated Title IX.[11] HHS OCR also launched an investigation of a state health department, assessing whether it, among other things is “Discriminating against faith-based organizations in the administration and/or enforcement of licensing requirements, including requiring any facilitation of sex-rejecting procedures and female genital mutilation (FGM) and treating religious objections as grounds for adverse licensure action, including denial or termination of professional licenses.”[12] 

HHS also issued a clarification that in the final rule, “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance,” published in 2024, the preamble—which said that gender dysphoria can be considered as a disability—does not have the force of law.[13]

The HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, issued a declaration highlighting the harms of sex-rejecting procedures, stating that “Sex-rejecting procedures for children and adolescents are neither safe nor effective as a treatment modality for gender dysphoria, gender incongruence, or other related disorders in minors, and therefore, fail to meet professional recognized standards of health care.” [14]

Partnership between Religious Organizations and the Government

The Trump administration has signaled that it wishes to cultivate partnerships with faith-based organizations. In the first weeks of the administration, the President established the White House Faith Office within its Domestic Policy, stating that “Government welcomes opportunities to partner with [faith-based entities] through innovative, measurable, and outcome-driven initiatives.” This office was first established by President George W. Bush.[15] The President also issued a memo directing agencies to repeal regulatory provisions that are unlawful in light of recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court. One of the decisions listed in the memo is Carson v. Makin, which makes clear that governments may not exclude religious organizations from participation in government programs because they engage in religious activity.[16]

The President also issued an EO directing agencies to expand school choice by, among other things, issuing guidance and reviewing mechanisms that would allow families to use federal funds for faith-based schools.[17] Bishop David O’Connell welcomed the action, saying “The Catholic Church teaches that parents are the primary educators of their children and have both the right and responsibility to direct their child’s education.”[18] In November, President Trump issued an EO directing HHS to work with the First Lady to develop a program to modernize the foster care system, which would include developing relationships between government and faith-based foster care providers.[19]

A countervailing effort on the part of the Trump administration, however, has been to apply pressure on nongovernmental organizations, including religious organizations, through changes made to federal programs, particularly those serving noncitizens. For example, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) amended its Standard Terms and Conditions in April 2025, including changes that prompted concern from religious organizations because of ways in which they would burden religious freedom.[20] A further policy change possibly paving the way for coercion of religious organizations is the new interpretation of “federal public benefit,” which the USCCB opposed, in part, because of its potential to require that organizations assist in immigration enforcement. Such an outcome, the USCCB observed, is contrary to the underlying statute.[21]

Conscience and Health Care

IVF Mandates

The USCCB supports restorative, ethical reproductive medicine, and opposes any policy or action that forces others to subsidize or facilitate artificial reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). In terms of religious liberty concerns, an IVF mandate, in addition to attacking life, the family, and human dignity, could also offend the consciences of medical professionals who object to participating in these procedures, and employers and health care providers who object to facilitating or subsidizing them.

Last February, President Trump issued an EO directing the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy to submit recommendations on how to lower the cost and increase access to IVF.[22] Bishop Daniel Thomas, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop Barron responded to the order, saying “The IVF industry treats human beings like products and freezes or kills millions of children who are not selected for transfer to a womb or do not survive. Tuesday’s executive order promoting IVF is thus fatally flawed and stands in regrettable contrast to the promising pro-life actions of the administration last month.”[23] On October 16, the White House announced its policy recommendations to expand access to IVF, which included the creation of a “New Benefit Option” for insurance coverage of fertility benefits.[24] This allows employers to offer standalone benefit packages to cover fertility treatments, including IVF and treatments that aim to restore fertility by addressing root causes.[25] The White House also announced that the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Treasury would undertake rulemaking to further expand the ability of employers to offer fertility benefits. It thus appears that a mandate was ultimately avoided, but the USCCB will continue to track and respond as necessary to how these policies are implemented.

Pro-Life Issues

On January 23, President Trump pardoned pro-life activists who had been convicted under the FACE Act for blocking access to an abortion clinic.[26] Bishop Thomas recognized the action, saying “Pro-life Americans have a right to pray in public, to counsel women who are considering abortion, and to peacefully protest. We welcome support for men and women who are exercising these rights to witness to a culture of life, and, at the same time, we absolutely reject resorting to force or violence.”[27]

Immigration

DHS issued a memorandum on January 20, 2025, rescinding guidance from the previous administration, which required that, absent exigent circumstances, immigration officers needed approval from their Agency’s headquarters before carrying out enforcement activities in or near protected areas (otherwise known as “sensitive locations”), such as hospitals, schools, and churches.[28] Prior to this, the guidance had existed in one form or another since the Clinton administration. Bishop Rhoades published an op-ed on OSV News, which argued that, while governments do have a right to enforce immigration laws, creating a climate of fear around the right to go to church damages the conditions necessary to foster the religious life of the nation (see Dignitatis humanae, 6).[29] Shortly after the rescission, Bishop Seitz, as chairman of the Committee on Migration, also issued a statement jointly with the heads of Catholic Charities USA and the Catholic Health Association.[30] 

In 2025, there are no known instances of immigration enforcement operations occurring within a Catholic church. One of the few prominent examples of an action on church grounds occurred in San Bernardino, California, when a parishioner was arrested outdoors while working on the landscaping. At the same time, anecdotal reports suggest a drop in attendance at Mass in some dioceses and parish communities because of parishioners’ fears of ICE enforcement, whether at or traveling to and from church. In response, five bishops have taken the extraordinary step of dispensing Catholics from their Sunday obligation if they fear that going to Mass puts them at risk of being detained. In addition to people experiencing reticence to attend Mass, some have also refrained from sending their children to Catholic schools and accessing social services provided by the Church. Some Catholic dioceses and parishes have also felt unable to proceed with certain liturgical celebrations, religious festivals, gatherings, and other events known to be popular among immigration communities, such as those related to Our Lady of Guadalupe, for fear of becoming a target of immigration enforcement.[31]

There have been several lawsuits challenging the rescission of the protected areas guidance. With the exception of one preliminary injunction applying to a narrow set of plaintiffs, these lawsuits have largely proven unsuccessful thus far.

Consistent access to immigration detention facilities for the purpose of providing religious and pastoral services to detainees has been a challenge. Inconsistent policies from facility to facility have prevented some detainees from receiving regular access to the sacraments, contrary to ICE’s own standards.

Antisemitism 

Early in his administration, President Trump undertook several actions intended to address antisemitism, particularly as antisemitic harassment and assaults have arisen in the context of protests over the conflict between Israel and Hamas. On January 29, the president issued an EO directing agencies to submit reports on ways to combat antisemitism.[32] Days later, the DOJ announced the Formation of a Federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism.[33] The Task Force has launched investigations of universities—such as the University of California, George Washington University, and Columbia University—for allegedly violating the civil rights of Jewish students following the October 7 attacks in 2023.[34]

In September, the DOJ charged a group of protesters under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for engaging in violence outside of synagogue in New Jersey. The FACE Act was passed under President Bill Clinton to protect abortion clinics, but it includes provisions that protect houses of worship. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division stated, “Those who target houses of worship and violate our federal laws protecting people of faith are on notice that they will face the consequences.”[35]

Debanking

As reported last year, individuals have in recent years raised concerns that banks are discriminating on the basis of political and religious viewpoints. On August 7, President Trump issued an EO addressing the issue of “debanking,” ordering regulators to “remove the use of reputation risk or equivalent concepts that could result in politicized or unlawful debanking” and to notify financial institutions that they must reinstate clients who were debanked and identify potential clients that were denied services, and ordering Treasury to develop a strategy to combat debanking.[36] The USCCB has not taken a public position on debanking.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Trump administration has taken actions against programs that often go under the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). President Trump issued an EO requiring that DEI programs and practices within government agencies be eliminated.[37] He issued another EO on ending “indoctrination” in K-12 schools, which seeks to eliminate “Federal funding or support for illegal and discriminatory treatment and indoctrination in K-12 schools, including based on gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology.”[38] The term “discriminatory equity ideology,” as used in the order and subsequent agency advisories, targets policies that advantage or disadvantage persons based on protected characteristics—for example, race-exclusive scholarships, set-asides, or trainings that condition benefits on agreement with contested concepts. In July, the DOJ issued non‑binding guidance warning recipients of federal funds that such practices may risk violations and loss of funding.[39] At the same time, consistent with the First Amendment, the government may not retaliate against private religious universities for lawful curricular speech outside a funded program, such as, by barring their students from neutral government opportunities based on the school’s academic choices. As the bishops affirmed in Open Wide Our Hearts, Catholic educational institutions are called to teach about the history and continuing reality of racism and to form consciences in light of the equal dignity of every person.[40] Such formation can and should be carried out in ways fully consistent with civil rights laws.

Religious Liberty Commission

On May 1, 2025, President Trump signed an EO establishing a Religious Liberty Commission.[41] The Commission is led by Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and its term will last one year, ending on July 4, 2026. The Commission holds regularly scheduled hearings, with the goal of producing a comprehensive report and recommendations for the President at the end of its term. The Commission is advised by boards, including an Advisory Board of Religious Leaders. Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Bishop Robert Barron serve on the Commission. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, and Bishop Thomas Paprocki serve on an Advisory Board.[42]

Anti-Christian Bias Task Force

On February 6, President Trump issued an EO establishing a task force led by the Attorney General aimed at eliminating anti-Christian bias in federal agencies.[43] In April, Attorney General Pamela Bondi convened a meeting of cabinet members to report on cases within their own agencies and to hear from witnesses who shared their stories of religious discrimination, and the task force presented an initial report in June.[44]
