Wednesday, January 20, 2021
 President Biden | President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. issued a proclamation today undoing former President Donald J. Trump's ban on migration to the United States of persons from a number of mostly Muslim-majority and African countries. The action, embodied in Presidential Proclamation 10141,was one of six migration-related first-day actions taken by the new president. This particular one effectively revokes the Trump-era policy that was widely referred to as the "Muslim Ban." |
As a technical matter, Wednesday's action by the new president revoked four different actions taken by President Trump: Executive Order 13780 of March 6, 2017 (Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States); Presidential Proclamation 9645 of September 24, 2017 (Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats); Presidential Proclamation 9723 of April 10, 2018 (Maintaining Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats); and Presidential Proclamation 9983 of January 31, 2020 (Improving Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats).
