In addition to repealing Trump’s order, Biden has directed the Secretaries of State, Labor and Homeland Security to review “any regulations, orders, policies and any other similar action developed pursuant to the Proclamation 10014 and, as appropriate, issue a revised guide in accordance with the published order.
