The Race to Dismantle Trump’s Immigration Policies

Trump transformed immigration through hundreds of quiet measures. Before they can be reversed, they have to be uncovered.

The Presidency of Donald Trump may be defined, in part, by his assaults on the immigration system, many of which are well known. During his first full week in office, he banned travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, and temporarily blocked all refugee resettlement. Months later, he rescinded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which sheltered hundreds of thousands of undocumented youths from deportation.

On Joe Biden’s first day as President, he began an effort to dismantle Trump’s most notorious anti-immigrant policies, calling them “a stain on our national conscience.” Just hours after entering the Oval Office, Biden proposed legislation granting an eight-year path to citizenship for nearly eleven million undocumented immigrants, and restoring and expanding refugee resettlement. He also released executive actions ending the travel ban, halting the construction of the border wall, and strengthening DACA.
