Biden will act immediately after the inauguration, his chief of staff said

Following his inauguration on Wednesday, Biden will lift Trump's immigration restrictions on citizens of some Muslim countries. The United States also wants to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement and introduce the obligation to wear masks in federal buildings and when traveling between states. In a letter to senior officials in the future administration, Klain said that these decisions are part of about a dozen steps that Biden plans to plan on the first day of his government. The future president also intends to extend the suspension of student loan repayments and take steps to protect people aggravated by the pandemic from eviction or confiscation. "These executive orders will provide relief to millions of Americans," Klain said. He added that the aim of Biden's measures would be to "reverse the most serious damage done by the Trump administration" and "move our country forward". "Full achievement of Biden's goals," according to Klain, will require the cooperation of Congress. This includes a $ 1.9 trillion package to support pandemics in a troubled economy. According to Klain, Biden will also propose a comprehensive immigration reform on the first day in office. On Thursday, according to Klain, Biden will sign regulations on opening schools and businesses and strengthening testing. On Friday, it will address relief for those suffering from the economic costs of the pandemic. Next week, according to Klain, Biden will take further decisions on climate protection, criminal law reform and immigration - for example, he wants to speed up the reunification of families divided on the US-Mexican border as a result of Trump's measures. After taking office, US presidents usually act quickly through executive orders. Trump did the same, but many of his orders were challenged or even rejected by the courts. Klain said it would not be Biden's case. According to him, the decisions will be legally justified and represent "the restoration of the proper constitutional role of the president".
