Today President Biden signed executive orders that initiate a review process for certain Trump-era anti-immigrant policies, and create a task force focused on reuniting families.
1⃣ Rebuilding asylum: The Biden administration has taken some steps to begin the process of rebuilding our asylum system.
But the lack of concrete action to rescind and unwind more unlawful and inhumane policies that this administration inherited — and now owns — is concerning.

2⃣ Remain in Mexico: It’s positive that the Biden administration doesn’t want to defend this policy before SCOTUS and that it won’t subject any more people to the program.
Biden still needs to make the suspension permanent and help the people who remain stranded in Mexico.

3⃣ Family separation: Biden’s commitment to reuniting families in the US, protecting them from deportation, and providing care is a good start.
But the 5,500 separated families need immediate action.
They can’t wait 4 months for the task force’s recommendations.

4⃣ Denaturalization: The Biden administration will review Trump’s systematic attacks on Black and Brown US citizens through its denaturalization efforts.
Next, they must suspend denaturalizations and passport revocations, and return denaturalization to its historic rare use.
