A very Interesting editorial has been published by AILA examining all trump policies that are still able to become legitimately finalized and applied as rules during a Biden administration.
Here is a list of Some of the most Pertinent Possible rule changes that can be finalized in the final days of the trump administration.
Presidential Actions: Easy for an administration to enact and just as easy to rescind via a new administration.
The two major executive orders that may come in the weeks ahead are:
"Presidential Proclamation 10014, 10052 and Executive Order Limiting Birthright Citizenship."
Regulations: that are pending review at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) & Proposed regulations where the comment periods have closed, and final rules are being drafted
The major Rules that may come in the weeks ahead are:
DOJ/EOIR Appellate Procedures and Decisional Finality in Immigration Proceedings; Administrative Closure Final Rule
Implementation of the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) at U.S. Land Borders Interim Final Rule (withdrawn).
DHS/USCIS Proposed Rule on the Use and Collection of Biometrics
DHS/ICE Elimination of Duration of Status Rule
DHS/USCIS Affidavit of Support Proposed Rule
Proposed regulations: These rules will be even harder to finalize as all comments have not yet been received.
DHS/USCIS H-1B Lottery Proposed Rule
DOS NPRM Eliminating B-1 in lieu of H-1B
DHS/CBP Proposed Rule Collection of Biometric Data from Aliens Upon Entry to and Departure from the United States
Proposed Regulations that are pending OIRA review. These regulations will be nearly impossible to finalize by January 20, 2021 given the number of steps remaining.
DHS/USCIS Proposed Rule on Provisional Waivers
DHS/USCIS Proposed Rule Rescinding H-4 EADs
