Upon taking office, President Joe Biden acted immediately to implement policies described by the Brookings Institution as the most progressive of any president.
On Biden’s very first day in office, he halted deportations, suspended the “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers, and stopped construction of the border wall. He then signed executive orders reversing Trump’s immigration policies. Biden also ended the Title 42 policy employed by the Trump administration during the pandemic to turn migrants away for health reasons. The Biden administration then reinstated the “catch and release” policy allowing the vast majority of illegals who cross the border to be released into the United States.
