the Biden administration delayed asylum restrictions and walked back rules revising aspects of the H-2A and H-1B programs, following a freeze on new regulations. On Wednesday, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification said it had pulled the final H-2A rule, and also withdrew a request for comments on a new H-1B policy as the Dept. of Labor reassesses its stance on both. The agency said it withdrew the rule prior to publication “for the purpose of reviewing issues of law, fact, and policy,” therefore not taking effect. Attorney Allen Orr, president-elect AILA, stated that he is “relieved that we are not going to have the burden of figuring out a new regulation during the heaviest season for employment immigration.”

President Biden’s Justice Department formally did away with the Trump administration’s controversial “zero tolerance” border policy, which resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant families, hundreds of whom have yet to be reunited. Acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson rescinded the policy in a memo addressed to all federal prosecutors, calling the 2018 directive “inconsistent with our principles.” Under the policy, the federal government separated families at the border so it could detain and prosecute the adults.

Alejandro Mayorkas was confirmed to serve as secretary of Homeland Security, putting him in charge of carrying out Biden’s immigration agenda and covering national security concerns. The Senate backed Mayorkas in a 56-43 vote. Mayorkas will be tasked with reuniting families separated at the southern border under the Trump administration. As part of his new duties, Mayorkas will also review the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols program that has forced tens of thousands people to remain in Mexico while their asylum cases are processed.

AZ attorney general Mark Brnovich sued DHS on Wednesday over the Biden’s administration’s 100-day deportation pause. He stated that they sued DHS “alleging that their new policy halting deportations is illegal and it’s also contrary to an … [understanding] that we have with Homeland Security.” Arizona is the second state to sue over the deportation pause, following a similar suit brought by Texas on Jan. 22. That suit resulted in a temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 26. In response, The Biden administration argued that the agreement between the states and DHS is unenforceable because “an outgoing administration cannot contract away that power for an incoming administration.

the Supreme Court cancelled oral arguments in suits challenging former President Trump’s defense funding for border wall construction and a policy forcing asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico while their immigration cases proceed. The Biden administration had sought to remove the cases from the Court’s upcoming calendar, citing President Biden’s Inauguration Day orders freezing funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall and ending enrollment in the Remain in Mexico program. Under the program, more than 68,000 migrants have been forced to wait in Mexico for decisions on their immigration cases in the U.S., according to the administration’s request. The decision to grant the Biden administration’s request came in a brief order without explanation.

President Biden issued an executive order to increase admissions and allow the U.S. to set a goal of providing refuge to 125,000 people around the world fleeing violence, conflict and persecution. The order called for an expansion of the refugee program, which was gutted to only allowing 15,000 refugees in 2020 under the Trump administration. Biden’s order also declared that his administration would prioritize the resettlement of women, children and others facing persecution because of their gender or sexual orientation. He also instructed an interagency examination of ways to help people displaced by climate change, including by resettling them in the U.S.

On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued several orders on immigration. Some orders take immediate effect while others may take more time to be implemented. If you think these policies affect you, contact a lawyer or legal service provider. Among the changes are: Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) remains in place. Deportations* were paused for 100 days (starting January 22), with some exceptions, and new enforcement policies will be adopted. Travel bans** barring entry for nationals of certain Muslim-majority and African nations were revoked. Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) protection was extended for Liberian nationals until June 30, 2022. Enrollments in the Migrant Protection Protocols that keep asylum seekers waiting in Mexico were suspended — but it is unclear how cases will be handled at the border

NBC News reports that President Biden is continuing to unravel the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies but has been unable to stop the deportation of hundreds of people, including a woman who witnessed the 2019 anti-Latino mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart store. An early Biden executive order placing a 100-day moratorium on deportations until an enforcement review could be done was suspended by a federal judge in response to a Texas lawsuit. But the ruling didn’t require ICE to schedule deportations.
