The administration has been very unclear about its plans in the context of immigration policy. Biden promised during the campaign to raise the refugee cap.

This immediately sparked outrage among Democratic politicians, immigration advocates and many Americans.

The institution of policing needs reform in the U.S. Headline after headline about police officers’ brutal killings of Black people shows this starkly. In the past year alone, 986 people have been shot and killed by the police. That’s 986 too many.
