PMT: Less-noticed Trump executive orders
In the flurry of executive orders the first few days of the Trump administration, some grabbed most of the attention while others didn't get noticed as much. Here are the details on some of those other executive orders:

-- All cats living within 100 miles of the southern border were ordered to "return to Mexico." (see illustration).
-- Revoked the 1965 executive order that required equal opportunity in federal hiring.
-- Americans who identify as transgender were banned from all bathroom use.
-- Rescinded a 2022 executive order that lowered the price of certain prescription drugs
-- Yves St. Laurent was declared a foreign terrorist organization.
-- Issued an order "defending and protecting women from solar energy."
