Default Biden to sign 17 executive actions on first day

some of them:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bid...obama-programs

* Biden will declare an "immediate termination" of funding for the border wall construction

* Biden will also sign an executive order revoking Trump’s previous order that directed aggressive immigration enforcement.

* Biden is also set to "preserve and fortify" the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

* Biden is set to sign an executive order that will put an end to Trump’s "Muslim ban". Trump, in 2017, signed an executive order suspending entry into the U.S. for individuals from mostly Muslim countries: Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Iran. The travel ban was updated later that year to include North Korea and Venezuela.

* Biden will revoke the Trump administration’s plan to exclude non-citizens from the census and apportionment of congressional representatives.

* Biden will rejoin the Paris Climate Accord — after the Trump administration officially left the agreement last year.

* Biden will also extend the eviction and foreclosure moratoriums for those effected by the pandemic.

* Biden will sign an executive order to "define equity as the consistent and systemic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals" including communities such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and other persons of color; LGBTQ+ persons; people with disabilities religious minorities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise affected by persistent poverty or inequality."

* Biden will also sign an executive order that prohibits against workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

* Biden will be revoking the ban on military service by transgender Americans.

* Reverse the Mexico City policy. The Mexico City policy forbids the use of taxpayer dollars to fund abortions in foreign countries.
