Former Vice President Joe Biden renewed his pledge to roll back an order signed by President Donald Trump banning entry to immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries
- U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to crack down on illegal immigration and reshape legal immigration was at the heart of the Republican’s winning 2016 campaign and has remained at the forefront of his White House agenda.
Faced with broad opposition from colleges, business associations, tech companies and labor unions, the Trump administration abandoned the plan earlier this week but may revisit the issue. Trump also implemented a health-focused policy that allows U.S. officials to rapidly deport migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border, bypassing standard legal processes.
The high court’s ruling - which found Trump’s termination of the program was “arbitrary and capricious” - left the administration the option to reissue the decision, which it is expected to do in the coming days or weeks. But there has been limited progress on construction and Mexico has refused to pay for it, leaving the U.S. government to foot the bill, partially from Pentagon funds. Federal court records show the Trump administration has ramped up efforts to seize land for the barrier.
Biden would end the prosecution of parents for minor immigration violations, which he calls an “intimidation tactic,” and make it a priority to reunite any children still separated from their families.
