President Biden is signaling not only an eagerness to reverse Trump-era immigration policies with his early executive actions but a willingness to go beyond the Obama administration.
A trio of orders signed by Biden last week seeks to make amends for the Trump administration’s family separation policy by establishing a task force dedicated to reuniting 545 children with their parents.
Biden also ordered a review of his predecessor’s public charge rule, which limited immigration opportunities for those who might need to rely on government assistance like food stamps or other social programs.
