BIG TECH CHEERS BIDEN’S IMMIGRATION ACTION

President Biden took executive action on immigration reform during his first day in office, earning praise from CEOs at some of the biggest U.S. tech companies, including Apple, Twitter and Google.

The president signed two executive orders — one repealing former President Trump’s travel ban on majority-Muslim countries and another strengthening the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — and sent a sweeping immigration bill to Congress on Wednesday.

Although Biden’s immigration executive actions drew a positive response from tech companies, Silicon Valley’s relationship with the new administration going forward remains up in the air as Biden has voiced support for repealing Section 230 and antitrust accusations against top tech companies heat up.
