A new executive order was just signed that cancels several orders made by President Biden during his term. These now-canceled orders were designed to make the immigration process fairer, safer, and more humane for families, refugees, and people seeking new lives in the United States.
Below are some important orders that were rescinded.
Executive Order 13993 guided immigration officers to focus on serious criminals rather than ordinary people without papers. Canceling this means there may be less protection for people who only have minor issues—like traffic violations or expired visas—and it may lead to more fear in immigrant communities.
Executive Order 14010 aimed to help people safely apply for asylum near their home countries and to reduce the need for dangerous journeys. Losing it could mean more risk for those fleeing violence or poverty, with fewer options to seek safety before arriving at the U.S. border.
Executive Order 14011 helped reunite children with their parents after the Trump administration separated many families at the border. With this order canceled, there is no clear program for bringing families back together or preventing similar family separations in the future.
Executive Order 14012 was meant to improve the legal immigration process and make it more user-friendly. Its removal could lead to more red tape, longer waiting times, and confusion for people seeking work visas, green cards, and citizenship.
Executive Order 14013 tried to strengthen the refugee program so the U.S. could welcome more people who are fleeing war and other dangers. Taking it away might reduce the number of refugees who can find a safe place to live in the United States.
The Trump administration used strict immigration policies that created fear among immigrant families. Many people trying to reach safety or to live peacefully in the U.S. felt targeted and hopeless. The canceled Biden-era orders were built to fix some of those problems—by supporting family reunification, focusing on real security threats, and offering legal ways to come to America.
Now that these orders are gone, immigrants may face greater risks of deportation, fewer legal paths to entry, and even longer delays in our already complicated immigration system. People who came here to seek safety may once again have to live in fear or return to life-threatening situations.
