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
other person.
