EXECUTIVE ORDER 12: Cancel the Trump administration’s interior enforcement rule
REVERSAL OF TRUMP ORDER
Biden revoked a Trump executive order that massively expanded immigration officials’ interior enforcement work and broadened the categories of who they should try to detain and deport. His acting DHS secretary then issued a memo pausing deportations for 100 days beginning on Jan. 22.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 13: Halt construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall
REVERSAL OF TRUMP ORDER
Biden declared an immediate termination of the national emergency declaration that the Trump administration used to divert federal funding to building the U.S.-Mexico border wall, and ordered a pause on its construction while the new administration reviews the funding and contracts.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 14: Extend deportation protections for Liberians
REVERSAL OF TRUMP ORDER
Biden signed an order extending the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) designation for Liberians who have been in the United States for many years until June 30, 2022, shielding them from deportation and extending their work authorization until then. Trump had threatened to terminate the program, which would have put the status of about 4,000 Liberians in jeopardy.
