Biden to sign immigration orders, including task force to reunite families separated at border
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden is set to sign executive orders to address family separation at the U.S.-Mexico border, border security and legal immigration, expanding efforts to quickly undo changes to immigration policy over the last four years.Biden’s planned orders on Tuesday will bring the number of executive actions on immigration during his first two weeks in office to nine. The moves aim to reverse many of former President Donald Trump's policies to deter immigration, both legal and illegal, though details remained scarce.Alejandro Mayorkas, whose nomination as Homeland Security secretary awaits Senate confirmation, will lead a task force on family separation, focused largely on reuniting parents and children who remain apart.
