illustration of religious buildings and government building — The executive order has drawn concern from liberal groups and praise from some religious groups.

Among other provisions, Trump directs the IRS to ease up on faith-based organizations who may have had their tax-exempt status threatened for supporting a particular candidate. NPR reporters annotate the order, adding context and analysis.
