President Biden issued an executive order on the Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement Policies and Priorities, which rescinds the former administration’s Executive Order 13768 of Jan. 25, 2017.

The DHS acting secretary issued a
memo directing DHS components to conduct a review of immigration enforcement policies and, beginning January 22 to pause removals of certain noncitizens ordered deported for 100 days.

 

DHS announced that it is suspending new enrollments in the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) Program and will cease adding individuals into the program effective January 21. DHS advised current MPP participants to remain where they are, pending further information. 

President Biden also issued a proclamation terminating the national emergency with respect to the U.S. southern border and redirecting funds diverted to border wall construction.
