Biden proposed the 100-day pause on deportations during his campaign as part of a larger review of immigration enforcement and an attempt to reverse the priorities of former President Donald Trump. Even without a moratorium, immigration agencies have wide latitude in enforcing removals and processing cases.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden wants to raise refugee admissions to 62,500 for the current budget year, overriding former President Donald Trump’s record-low limit of 15,000, a U.S. official and others said Thursday. Trump set the ceiling on refugee admissions in October when the 2021 budget year started, and it runs until September 30. Biden's proposal of 62,500 would replace that, and the president has already announced plans to raise admissions to twice that amount in 2022. Trump targeted the refugee program under his anti-immigration policies, dropping admissions yearly until they reached a record low of 15,000. Biden, who co-sponsored legislation creating the refugee program in 1980, has said reopening the doors to refugees is “how we will restore the soul of our nation.”Ad___Watson reported from San Diego.

– Routine vaccinations for children and adults are vital in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, but data is showing that during this pandemic, vaccinations have declined drastically. That’s why the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases has launched a campaign called “Keep Up The Rates” to encourage people to protect themselves against viruses like mumps, measles, pneumonia and the flu. Schaffner said anyone over the age of 6 months should be vaccinated against the flu every year. And when it comes to the spread of coronavirus, researchers with the Department of Agriculture in Kansas are suggesting that mosquitoes and other biting insects cannot spread COVID-19. Unlike Dengue, Malaria and Zika, the study, which has not been peer reviewed, found that the virus behind COVID-19 can’t replicate after being ingested by mosquitos.

– President Trump recorded a cryptic tweet saying he was going to pay a surprise visit to some of the “great patriots” that have been outside of Walter Reed, leaving some people to speculate that maybe he was leaving the hospital for good. The White House soon announced on Twitter that the president had decided to take a short, last-minute motorcade ride. I’m about to make a little surprise visit,” Trump said in his Tweet. “President Trump took a short, last-minute motorcade ride to wave to his supporters outside and has now returned to the Presidential Suite inside Walter Reed," said Judd Deere, a spokesperson for the White House. This isn’t the let’s-read-the-book school,” Trump said in his Twitter video message.

Still, the doctors said Trump’s health is improving and that he could be discharged as early as Monday. In a short video released by the White House on Sunday, Trump insisted he understood the gravity of the moment. He was evasive about the timing of Trump oxygen drops. At the time of the briefing, Trump’s blood oxygen level was 98% — within normal rage, Trump’s medical team said. First lady Melania Trump has remained at the White House as she recovers from her own bout with the virus.
