U.S President, Joe Biden has signed a series of executive actions to reverse the policies of Donald Trump administration on immigration and others.

 

Today being his first day in office, Biden issued an executive order to end Trump’s controversial ‘Muslim travel ban’, which blocked travel to the United States from several predominantly Muslim and African countries.

 

According to New York Times, President Biden has now directed the State Department to restart immigration visa processing for individuals from the affected countries and to develop ways to address the harm caused to those who were prevented from coming to the United States because of the ban.

 

Ending the ban was one of Biden’s top campaign promises on immigration policy, and he has now delivered.
