On Day 1, Biden to undo Trump's Muslim travel ban, Mexico border wall

President Joe Biden plans to begin immediately unwinding former President Trump’s policies on immigration, climate, and other issues with at least 15 executive actions, including moves to reverse US withdrawals from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization (WHO), and stop construction of a border wall. The Day One agenda includes:
 
Re-engaging with the WHO
 
Biden plans to immediately rejoin the WHO, which Trump exited in May, saying China exerted too much pressure on the agency.
 

Mask mandate on US properties
 
The new president’s mask mandate will require face coverings and physical distancing for everyone in federal buildings and on federal lands.

 
Easing burden of student loans
 
Another action will pause the accrual of interest and principal payments on federal student loans until September 30.
 
Rejoining the climate agreement
 
Biden will make several initial moves to restore efforts by the Obama administration to combat climate change, including re-joining the Paris accord.
 
No more money for wall
 
Biden is expected to repeal the national emergency on the US-Mexico border, halting funding for Trump’s signature border wall that symbolised his crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
 
Scrapping the Muslim travel ban
 
The administration is also scrapping Trump’s travel ban on several West Asian, Central Asian, and African countries, most of them with majority Muslim populations, that the outgoing president had deemed terrorist threats.

 
Bolstering the DACA programme
 
Biden will seek to strengthen the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programme that provides deportation protections to immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.
 
New protections against discrimination
 
Biden will sign an executive order prohibiting workplace discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
