With just hours to go before his swearing-in, Joe Biden and his
team have already started Wednesday with a blitz of announcements
for Executive Orders that will be issued immediately.
Following at least a week’s worth of media leaks teasing all
the Biden “Day One” action items (Rejoin the Paris Accords,
Keystone Pipeline, Halt the departure from the WTO, But mostly the
massive immigration package that could create paths to citizenship
for millions
of illegal migrants), Biden is moving ahead with no
fewer than 17 executive actions targeting Trump’s
various policies.
CNN reports there will be a
total of 17 executive actions, at least 15 of those will be
executive orders targeting a range of issues, while Biden
pushes his immigration package and a raft of immigration
legislation. Of these 17 actions, 9 will involve reversals of
Trump-era policies.
The
FT reports that the barrage of orders also includes a
“100-day masking challenge” to promote the wearing of face
masks across the US, with a guest appearance by Dr. Anthony Fauci,
who will (shocker of the century) serve as the media face of the
challenge.
As expected, Biden will also roll back the Trump travel
ban on citizens of certain Muslim-majority countries introduced at
the very beginning of the Trump Administration, which
survived a bitter court battle that infamously occupied plenty of
headline space during the first half of 2017. It also sent
protesters rushing to airports around the country as some travelers
were caught up in the chaos.
“It was rooted in xenophobia and religious animus and
president-elect Biden has been clear that we will not turn our back
on our values with discriminatory bans on entry to the United
States,” Jake Sullivan, Biden’s pick for national security
adviser, said of the Muslim ban recently during a briefing.
Biden will sign the EOs and other memoranda in the Oval Office
on Wednesday afternoon, his incoming press secretary Jen Psaki told
reporters.
Psaki confirmed that,
as we have previously reported, Biden plans to accompany his
slate of EOs with a comprehensive immigration package that will be
sent to Congress straightaway, where it will need to be passed by
the (Democrat-controlled) House and Senate.
We have also noted previously that the day one orders will be
part of a “10-day blitz” of orders,
upon which we have previously reported, they will target the
“four overlapping and compounding crises”: COVID-19, the
economy, climate change and racial inequality.
“In his first 10 days in office, President-elect Biden will
take decisive action to address these four crises, prevent other
urgent and irreversible harms, and restore America’s place in the
world,” Klain wrote at the time.
Other ’10-day blitz’ items include presidential directives
on safely reopening schools and businesses, after
Democrats spent much of last year insisting they remain closed.
