- Two of President-elect Joe Biden’s top incoming advisers on Tuesday appeared intent on lowering expectations about Biden’s plans to roll back President Trump’s anti-immigration rules, which have been condemned internationally as violating human rights.

- Saying Biden will “need time” to undo Trump’s immigration policies, Sullivan acknowledged that the Remain in Mexico policy—under which more than 66,000 asylum-seekers have been turned away at the U.S.-Mexico border and forced to live in tent cities—”has led to a humanitarian crisis in northern Mexico” as people wait for their asylum claims to be processed in U.S. courts.
