Introduction
Shortly after taking office Jan. 20, President Joe Biden ordered a 100-day moratorium on most deportations. Six days later, a federal judge in Texas blocked the moratorium with a 14-day restraining order. Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sought the restraining order, arguing that Biden was endangering the state.
Paxton’s challenge is a sign that more partisan clashes lie ahead as Biden seeks the deepest reforms to the U.S. immigration system in decades.

Biden has promised an immigration “reset” from former President Donald Trump’s harsh policies. The moratorium was issued so officials could review migration policies including deportations of undocumented people with U.S. family members and asylum seekers, some of whom have died violently upon return to their native countries.
Minneapolis makes big bet on violence prevention effort to stem crime surge With money diverted from police, city agency faces pressure to ramp up quickly, help stem crime surge. January 23, 2021 6:10pm Text size Copy shortlink:

Its success will depend partly on its ability to work with the Minneapolis Police Department, whose budget was trimmed so more money could be spent on unarmed city workers who intervene in conflicts and help crime victims.
