Bondi issues guidance on Trump order making English official language

UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – The Department of Justice directs federal agencies to reduce multilingual services and reallocate savings toward English education, with public input expected within 180 days, officials said.

  • In March, President Donald Trump issued an order establishing English as the nation’s official language, and later, Attorney General Pam Bondi provided instructions for carrying out this directive.
  • This order rescinded President Bill Clinton's 2000 order that expanded services for limited English speakers, citing federal resource strain and impeded assimilation as reasons.
  • The Justice Department will conduct a review to scale back unnecessary multilingual offerings, allocate funding toward English language education, and implement AI technologies to improve the efficiency of translation services.
  • A 2024 Pew survey found 51% of Americans considered making English official very important, with 75% of Republicans supporting it, while the Linguistic Society of America opposed the policy.
  • The administration seeks to strengthen economic and social cohesion, encourage assimilation, and foster national unity, while permitting limited multilingual support for essential government functions.
