He added that the nation is less prosperous and secure because of the scourge of systemic racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe must change now,\u201d the president said. \u201cI know it\u2019s going to take time, but I know we can do it. And I firmly believe the nation is ready to change. But government has to change as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden rose to the presidency during a year of intense reckoning on institutional racism in the U.S. The moves announced on Tuesday reflect his efforts to follow through with campaign pledges to combat racial injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/management\/2019\/05\/20\/prison-break-balancing-reform-on-critically-understaffed-correctional-facilities\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cover_2-Cropped.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Prison break: As the Trump administration touts prison reform as a victory, the Federal Bureau of Prisons struggles<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Officers on the ground say that many BOP locations are seriously understaffed, resulting in dangerous working conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond calling on the Justice Department to curb the use of private prisons, the new orders will recommit the federal government to respect tribal sovereignty and disavow discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community over the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden will also direct the Department of Housing and Urban Development to take steps necessary to promote equitable housing policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order to end the reliance on privately-run prisons directs the attorney general not to renew Justice Department contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. The move will effectively revert the Justice Department to the same posture it held at the end of the Obama administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a first step to stop corporations from profiting off of incarceration,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order highlighting xenophobia against Asian Americans is in large part a reaction to what White House officials say was offensive and dangerous rhetoric from the Trump administration that Biden believes needs to be addressed. Trump, throughout the pandemic, repeatedly used xenophobic language in public comments when referring to the coronavirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This memorandum will direct Health and Human Services officials to consider issuing guidance describing best practices to advance cultural competency and sensitivity toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the federal government\u2019s COVID-19 response. It also directs the Department of Justice to partner with AAPI communities to prevent hate crimes and harassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest executive actions come after Biden signed an order Monday reversing a Trump-era Pentagon policy that largely barred transgender people from serving in the military. Last week, he signed an order reversing Trump\u2019s ban on travelers from several predominantly Muslim and African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden last week also directed law enforcement and intelligence officials in his administration to study the threat of domestic violent extremism in the United States, an undertaking launched weeks after a mob of insurgents loyal to Trump, including some connected to white supremacist groups, stormed the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House domestic policy adviser Susan Rice said Biden sees addressing equity issues as also good for the nation\u2019s bottom line. She cited a Citigroup study from last year that U.S. gross domestic product lost $16 trillion over the last 20 years as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans. The same study finds the U.S. economy would be boosted by $5 trillion over the next five years if it addressed issues of discrimination in areas such as education and access to business loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBuilding a more equitable economy is essential if Americans are going to compete and thrive in the 21st century,\u201d Rice added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden\u2019s victory over Trump in several battleground states, including Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, was fueled by strong Black voter turnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout his campaign and transition, Biden promised that his administration would keep issues of equity \u2014 as well as climate change, another issue he views as an existential crisis \u2014 in the shaping of all policy considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden, who followed through on early promise to pick a woman to serve as vice president, has also sought to spotlight the diversity of his Cabinet selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Monday, the Senate confirmed Biden\u2019s pick for treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, who is the first woman to lead the department. Last week, the Senate confirmed Lloyd Austin as the nation\u2019s first Black defense secretary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The moves President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday
