Respond to Biden opening the border on Day-1. January 20, 2021 On his first day in office, President Biden issues an executive order, “Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities,” (hereinafter the “priorities memorandum”) revoking an executive order President Trump signed to protect Americans from dangerous criminal aliens , “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States.” President Trump’s order called for the faithful execution of the immigration laws against all removable illegal immigrants and instructed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prioritize the removal of those who have committed crimes, pose a national security risk, engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation before the government, abused welfare programs, and are subject to a final order of removal. It also instructed the Attorney General to ensure sanctuary jurisdictions are not eligible to receive federal grants. President Biden issues a proclamation terminating the national emergency declaration at the Southern border declared by President Trump and halting construction of the border wall . DHS issues a memorandum freezing all immigration removal actions for 100 days unless the removal concerns an alien who was suspected of terrorism or espionage or otherwise posed a national security threat, the alien was not physically present in the United States before November 1, 2020, the alien agreed to waive any right to remain in the United States, or Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) made an individualized determination that the removal is required by law. President Biden issues a presidential memorandum, “Preserving and Fortifying Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA),” instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security and Attorney General to take actions that “preserve and fortify” DACA. President Biden’s first legislative proposal would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants in the U.S. This is widely reported in the news media. DHS issues a press release announcing it is suspending new enrollments in the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) and will no longer add individuals into the program. MPP required many aliens encountered by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to wait in Mexico during their U.S. immigration court proceedings instead of being released into the interior of the U.S. February 2, 2021 President Biden issues an executive order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind MPP . In addition, the order directs the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security to rescind a series of rules issued by the Trump Administration that implemented asylum agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Finally, the order rescinds President Trump’s memorandum seeking to end “catch and release.” President Biden issues another executive order directing the Attorney General and DHS Secretary to identify and rescind barriers impeding access to immigration benefits or the naturalization process. This review specifically considers President Trump’s public charge rule, which sought to prevent aliens who are likely to receive one or more public benefits from obtaining green cards. February 4, 2021 President Biden issues an executive order rescinding Trump Administration reforms to the Refugee Admissions Program. The order rescinds multiple directives signed by President Trump providing for enhanced vetting of refugees and giving state and local governments a say in the refugee resettlement process. In addition, the order directs the DHS Secretary, Secretary of State, and the Attorney General to expand refugee adjudication capacity.
