For Rep. Burgess Owens, one thing is clear: President Donald Trump, who was sworn in, is living up to his promise to “hit the ground running on day one.”

“Within 24 hours of returning to the White House, he took decisive action to secure our borders, unleash American energy, cut unnecessary regulations, end divisive DEI initiatives within the federal government, and restore accountability in Washington,” Owens said. He represents Utah’s 4th District.

Other Republican representatives from Utah also reiterated these statements.

The executive orders related to immigration signed by Trump include one that ends birthright citizenship, another designating the cartels and migrant gangs as terrorist organizations, restrictions on the transfer of funds to sanctuary states, and reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy.

As for energy policy, Trump expedited the deregulation of drilling, paused offshore wind leases in federal waters and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.

One of the directives will end diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government, and another will allow the government to allow only two genders, male and female, on official documents.

“America’s fighter is back, and as a result, our nation will be stronger, prouder, and more prosperous than ever before,” Owens said.

Rep. Mike Kennedy, R-Utah, in a statement to the Deseret News, said, “This is what the American citizens have been waiting for.”

Kennedy, who represents Utah’s 3rd District, echoed Owens’ remark about the president “wasting no time in getting our nation back on track.”

On Monday, Rep. Celeste Maloy, who represents Utah’s 2nd District, said Trump’s work “has already improved the lives of everyday Utahns.”

“His all-of-the-above approach to energy independence and actions to streamline permitting will unleash energy production and innovation in Utah,” she said. “Additionally, his work to secure the border will provide relief for local law enforcement.”

Maloy added, “For Utahns to continue thriving for decades to come, I am working with my colleagues in the House to ensure this administration’s work is cemented by law.”

She expressed enthusiasm for Trump’s swearing-in ceremony by sharing a few pictures on social media from the day.

“POV: Lee Greenwood is singing God Bless the USA while I’m sitting under the apotheosis in the Capitol Rotunda. I’m proud to be an American” she said in one post. In another, she uploaded a picture of her wearing Converse-style red sneaker shoes “to celebrate a new chapter in America.”

All four Utah Republican delegates — Owens, Kennedy, Maloy, and Rep. Blake Moore — attended the inauguration on Monday.
