                Executive Order 13993 of January 20, 2021

                
Revision of Civil Immigration Enforcement 
                Policies and Priorities

                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Policy. Immigrants have helped strengthen 
                America's families, communities, businesses and 
                workforce, and economy, infusing the United States with 
                creativity, energy, and ingenuity. The task of 
                enforcing the immigration laws is complex and requires 
                setting priorities to best serve the national interest. 
                The policy of my Administration is to protect national 
                and border security, address the humanitarian 
                challenges at the southern border, and ensure public 
                health and safety. We must also adhere to due process 
                of law as we safeguard the dignity and well-being of 
                all families and communities. My Administration will 
                reset the policies and practices for enforcing civil 
                immigration laws to align enforcement with these values 
                and priorities.

                Sec. 2. Revocation. Executive Order 13768 of January 
                25, 2017 (Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of 
                the United States), is hereby revoked. The Secretary of 
                State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland 
                Security, the Director of the Office of Management and 
                Budget, the Director of the Office of Personnel 
                Management, and the heads of any other relevant 
                executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall 
                review any agency actions developed pursuant to 
                Executive Order 13768 and take action, including 
                issuing revised guidance, as appropriate and consistent 
                with applicable law, that advances the policy set forth 
                in section 1 of this order.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order 
                shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with 
                applicable law and subject to the availability of 
                appropriations.

                    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, 
                create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, 
                enforceable at law or in equity by any party against 
                the United States, its departments, agencies, or 
                entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
