President Signs Three Executive Orders Seeking Broad Changes to US Immigration Policies; Administration Delays Changes to H-1B Cap Lottery Friday, February 5, 2021
The following is a summary of the President’s three new immigration-related executive orders issued on February 2, 2021:

The action also revokes the Trump administration’s executive order that sought to justify separating children from their parents and describes that administration’s former “Zero Tolerance” policy, by which it separated families at the U.S. -Mexico border, as a “human tragedy.”
