So much happened yesterday. I'm going to collect my threads here on yesterday's big immigration news.
First, we got key details of Biden's big immigration
There is a LOT to like about this bill. I want to highlight some of the proposed changes beyond just legalization, including:

- Ending the 3 & 10 year bars
- Curbing the "Muslim ban" authority
- Preventing "aging out" of children on nonimmigrant visas.https://t.co/jkFBIcNJEb
Once Biden had officially taken office, we got the first major action. As part of a standard transition process, the Biden White House froze all regulations which Trump had been trying to finalize at the last hour. I did a thread on what we
This is a standard order issued following every transition, but today it feels so important because of how many horrific things were in the pipeline.

Here's a brief thread about some of the terrible anti-immigration regulations that didn't make it across the finish line.

Last night we started getting more changes. One of the first was an order telling CBP to stop putting people into the so-called "Migrant Protection Protocols," a cruel program that's left thousands in a dangerous limbo. But there's still more to do!
Incredible.\U0001f38a I am overwhelmed with joy that we are finally seeing the end to one of the most cruel and heartless policies of the last four years\u2014one that caused horrific damage to peoples' lives.

After that, we began getting the text of immigration executive orders. The first one put onto the White House's website was the order ending the Muslim Ban/Africa Ban and ordering the State Department to come up with a plan for reconsidering
\U0001f38aWe have our first immigration EO and it's the order ending the Muslim Ban/Africa Ban!

The Bans "are a stain on our national conscience and are inconsistent with our long history of welcoming people of all faiths and no faith at all."https://t.co/4lh20OCCAY pic.twitter.com/8mW9wuPyzc
The next immigration executive order put on the White House's website revoked a Trump executive order from January 26, 2017 which made all undocumented immigrants a priority for deportation and directed a DHS-wide review of immigration
\U0001f38aSecond immigration EO! It is short. It establishes that Biden believes that immigration enforcement "requires setting priorities to best serve the national interest."

It then revokes Trump's original EO that made all undocumented immigrants a priority.https://t.co/MvaeqPbiyK pic.twitter.com/dpkVZAKOT2

Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, was born in Manhattan and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. His pulp-fiction heroes have come to define much of popular culture in the early 21st century.
Tying Marvel’s stable of pulp-fiction heroes to a real place — New York — served a counterbalance to the sometimes gravity-challenged action and the improbability of the stories. That was just what Stan Lee wanted. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i

The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
