Biden to Allow Deported Immigrants Back Into U.S.

Politico: “The Biden administration, with little public fanfare, is working on plans for an organized review of thousands of cases of people who say they were unjustly deported in recent years, senior officials in charge of immigration said. The officials say that many deportations, especially under Trump, were unduly harsh, with little law enforcement benefit. They are working to devise a system to reconsider cases of immigrants who were removed despite strong ties to the United States.”

Playbook: “Watch Republicans on this, particularly anti-immigration types. Such a mass reversal is rare and would likely ensure many of the individuals would find a pathway to naturalization. The GOP has been trying to cast Biden as irresponsible on immigration issues. They’re likely to sink their teeth into this.”
