The New Yorker reports on the “extensive, unpublicized bureaucratic effort to transform immigration through rule changes, adjustments to asylum officers’ guidelines, modifications to enforcement norms, and other measures” that took place during the Trump administration, as well as the real-life impact these policies have had on people fleeing violence and persecution and seeking to immigrate to the United States. The article also covers what it will take for the Biden administration to undo these measures. Politico reports that the Senate has delayed its vote to confirm Alejandro Mayorkas, President Biden’s nominee to lead DHS, to tomorrow due to inclement weather.

CNN reports that DHS, which was largely hollowed out over the last four years, is moving with urgency to staff agencies with people who had front-row seats to the hardline immigration limits rolled out under former President Trump, in order to rescind them. Over recent days, the department has started to hire staff with extensive backgrounds in immigrants’ rights, immigration law, and refugee resettlement.

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.”

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.

ICE agents have been barred from arresting immigrants at federal courthouses in the Southern District of California, a practice U.S. District Judge Sana Sabraw found “degrades the administration of justice.” In 2018, Judge Sabraw granted a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration’s policy allowing Border Patrol agents to arrest immigrants at the conclusion of criminal cases. But under the Trump’s increased immigration enforcement, ICE issued a directive to its agents to conduct civil arrests on courthouse premises. Judge Sabraw’s order found “this practice deters parties and witnesses from coming to court” and “instills fear.” DHS did not comment.

Yahoo News reports on President-Elect Biden’s announcement that he intends to nominate Alejandro Mayorkas as secretary of DHS. Mayorkas, who previously served as deputy secretary of DHS under President Obama, is the son of Cuban Jews who came to the United States as refugees in 1960, less than a year after he was born.
