Biden, who is running for reelection and has been facing criticism for the high number of migrants entering the United States, is relying on section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to implement these restrictions.

This is the same law former President Donald Trump — who is challenging Biden in this year's election— used in 2017 to ban immigration from several majority-Muslim countries, and in 2018 to suspend the entry of migrants between ports of entry along the Southern border. As it happened during the Trump administration, Biden’s executive order is expected to be challenged by immigrant rights groups.
