On April 22, 2020, President Trump issued a Proclamation titled “Suspending Entry of Immigrants Who Present Risk to the US Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the COVID-19 Outbreak.” This Proclamation comes after the President’s initial announcement on Monday evening that “US immigration” would be temporarily suspended to protect the jobs of US workers. The new Proclamation applies immediately (effective 11:59 pm (ET) on April 23, 2020) and will expire 60 days from its effective date unless it is extended or modified.
