President-elect Joe Biden is set to reverse many of President Trump’s immigration actions as soon as he takes office, including a moratorium on deportations and ending the travel ban restrictions on primarily Muslim countries.
People “familiar with” Biden’s plan told CBS News the former vice president is prepared to restore DACA, implement a 100-day moratorium on deportations, end the “remain in Mexico" border policy, reinstate a Trump-scrapped, Obama-era program allowing at-risk children in Central America to request refugee or parole status, increase refugee admissions, and end the travel ban from Muslim countries, among other changes.
Mr. Biden will look to implement the 100-day deportations moratorium while his administration issues guidance narrowing who can be arrested and deported by ICE.

A source familiar with Mr. Biden's plans said new guidance would be designed to curb so-called "collateral arrests.”
Other changes Biden’s team intends to make:
— Camilo Montoya-Galvez (@camiloreports) November 11, 2020
- Scrap the public charge rules for green cards / visas.
- End “travel ban” restrictions on 13 countries—most of which are African or majority Muslim.
- Review Trump’s efforts to end TPS deportation protections for 300K immigrants.
Biden is also reportedly prepared to reverse Trump’s executive orders on immigration.
"All that stuff was done administratively through the [president's] executive authority, and so a new executive can basically reject those and start from scratch," a source familiar with Biden’s plan told CBS News.
Lastly: Immigration has arguably been the issue Trump officials—including Stephen Miller—have spent the most resources on, instituting 400 changes.

With his defeat, however, Mr. Trump's immigration legacy—built through executive actions—is now vulnerable.https://t.co/YTek3rt2z6
The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.
