Biden revokes Trump-era executive actions on immigration, monuments and censorship

The 2019 health coverage proclamation for visa applicants never took effect and faced immediate legal challenges from lawyers who argued that it would prevent thousands of immigrants from coming to the States. United.

In his policy reversal, Biden said his administration “is committed to expanding access to quality and affordable health care” and that their goal can be achieved “without barring the entry of non-citizens who are seeking to immigrate legally to this country but lack the financial means or have not purchased health insurance coverage from a restrictive list of eligible plans. ”

Biden also revoked Trump’s 2020 action to “Prevent Online Censorship,” which Trump posted last summer in the days after Twitter called two of his tweets “potentially misleading.”

At the time, Trump said the action was aimed at “defending free speech against one of the gravest dangers it has faced in American history.” The action aimed to reduce the power of large social media platforms by reinterpreting a critical 1996 law that protects websites and tech companies from lawsuits.

The president also withdrew the order Trump signed amid protests against police brutality that erupted in the country last year. The order instructed the Attorney General to “give the Justice Department priority in investigating and prosecuting” those who damage government-owned monuments, citing federal law that “allows a penalty of up to 10 years’ imprisonment for willful interference with federal property. “

Trump’s proposed Garden of American Heroes – another order issued amid last year’s protests that would have created a garden of statues featuring notable American figures – was also rejected by Biden on Friday.

Another order that was dropped was an attempt to “rename” foreign aid to “be appropriately and ostentatiously identified as US aid.” And an order issued in the last days of his tenure that sought “over-criminalization through regulatory reform” was also revoked.

Biden spent a significant portion of his other executive actions rescinding orders imposed by Trump.

On his first day in office, Biden signed a series of actions that halted funding for the construction of Trump’s border wall, rolled back his travel ban on largely Muslim countries, rolled back Trump’s attempts to withdraw the United States of international agreements and reiterated the Paris Agreement on the climate.
And in his first 100 days in office, Biden ended up signing over 60 executive actions – 24 of which were direct reversals of Trump’s policies.
