Biden revokes Trump order to punish statue vandals
President Joe Biden has revoked a string of proclamations by Donald Trump, including an order to punish vandals who destroy monuments.
Mr Trump issued the order amid last year's social justice protests as statues were being defaced or toppled.
Mr Biden also rescinded Mr Trump's plans for a sculpture garden to honour American heroes.
And he canned a 2019 proclamation that sought to bar entry to immigrants who could not afford health insurance.
Mr Trump issued an order in June 2020 instructing the federal government "to prosecute to the fullest extent" any person "that destroys, damages, vandalizes, or desecrates a monument, memorial, or statue".
The proclamation - which singled out "rioters, arsonists and left-wing extremists" - was a popular talking point for the Republican president at his rallies.

Biden revokes Trump executive order that targeted Section 230
The order would have changed legal protections for social media platforms
President Biden on Friday
revoked several of former President Trump’s executive orders, including one that would have changed legal protections for social media sites and other online platforms.
Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act limits how much online platforms can be held liable for content users share on their platforms.
The Trump order, titled “preventing online censorship,” would have allowed federal authorities to hold companies like Twitter, Google, and Facebook responsible if they were found to be infringing on users’ speech by deleting or otherwise modifying users’ posts.
Trump signed the order last May, just as Twitter started applying labels to his tweets as “misleading.” Trump was eventually banned from Twitter for tweets inciting the January 6th riot at the US Capitol. A similar ban by Facebook remains in effect while the company reevaluates it.
