WASHINGTON — Less than two weeks into his tenure, President Joe Biden is facing increasing pressure from immigration advocates to reverse policies put in place by his predecessor, which White House officials say will take time to undo.
Immigration advocates see the steps announced by Biden on Tuesday as part of a positive initial step but warn that the new administration must take further action soon after what they saw as the steep setbacks of Donald Trump’s four years in office.
It’s a demand that White House officials acknowledge, even as they argue that the complicated process of undoing the previous administration’s actions will take time.
