Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and other progressives are taking aim at Joe Biden Tuesday after an aide to the transition team admitted that Biden’s incoming administration does not plan to roll back President Donald Trump’s immigration policies wholesale.
Biden’s presidential campaign routinely referenced plans to end controversial Trump administration immigration policies, including the “Remain in Mexico” policy which prevented asylum seekers from entering the United States until their claims could be adjudicated. Biden also pledged to freeze deportations for 100 days, limit immigration arrests, and loosen restrictions that kept the United States-Mexico border shut for most of the coronavirus pandemic.
