WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st January, 2021) President Joe Biden has signed executive orders to halt the construction of the wall on the US-Mexico border and to terminate the so-called "Muslim travel ban" imposed by the Trump administration.
"I'm proud of today's executive actions," Biden said on Wednesday evening. "I'm going to start by keeping the promises I made to the American people."
Trump had declared a national emergency on the southern border to divert funds for the construction of a border wall.
On January 2017, the Trump administration first introduced a ban prohibiting entry of foreign nationals from seven Muslim majority countries, although court challenges forced the administration to modify the ban multiple times.
