Inaugural Address by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., January 20, 2021
From the Document: "Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy. The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded. We have learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed. So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol's very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries. We look ahead in our uniquely American way - restless, bold, optimistic - and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be. [...] This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward. And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America. If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail."

Cruelty, Coercion, and Legal Contortions: The Trump Administration's Unsafe Asylum Cooperative Agreements with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador
From the Introduction: "Since his first days in office in 2017, President Donald Trump has aggressively exploited the U.S. immigration system to reduce the number of foreigners allowed entry into the United States, and especially to repel refugees, asylum seekers, and other vulnerable migrants in need of protection. [...] One striking example of the effort to eviscerate long-standing American protection policy is the set of agreements the Trump administration signed with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, the so-called 'Asylum Cooperative Agreements' (ACAs). These agreements follow a pattern of unlawful maneuvers designed to close off legal pathways to protection in the United States. [...] This report examines the ACAs' impact on the lives of refugees and asylum seekers, their tenuous foundation in U.S. law, and their role in U.S. foreign policy toward Central America. The Report is based on information gleaned through Committee hearings, travel to the region, rigorous oversight of the State Department, and consultations with international organizations and human rights advocates--information learned despite the Trump administration's obstruction and efforts to hide relevant documentation. Annexes to this report include previously unpublished written material provided by the State Department to SFRC [Senate Committee on Foreign Relations] Democratic Staff. The report's annexes also include key documents related to the ACAs that the Trump administration refused to disclose to SFRC, ensuring they are now freely accessible to the public. SFRC Democratic Staff has found the ACAs to be alarmingly abusive in every respect."

COVID-19 Relief Assistance to Small Businesses: Issues and Policy Options [Updated January 15, 2021]
From the Summary: "The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) administers several types of programs to support small businesses, including direct disaster loan programs for businesses, homeowners, and renters; loan guaranty and venture capital programs; management and technical assistance training programs; and contracting programs. Congressional interest in these programs has always been high, primarily because small businesses are viewed as a means to stimulate economic activity and create jobs, but it has become especially acute in the wake of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic's widespread adverse economic impact on the national economy. This report provides a brief description of the SBA's programs and examines congressional action to assist small businesses during and immediately following the Great Recession (2007- 2009) and during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Impeachment and Trial of a Former President [January 15, 2021]
From the Document: "For the second time in just over a year, the House of Representatives has voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump. The House previously voted to impeach President Trump on December 18, 2019, and the Senate voted to acquit the President on February 5, 2020. Because the timing of this second impeachment vote is so close to the end of the Trump Administration, it is possible that any resulting Senate trial may not occur until after President Trump leaves office on January 20, 2021. This possibility has prompted the question of whether the Senate can try a former President for conduct that occurred while he was in office."

ICE Guidance Needs Improvement to Deter Illegal Employment
From the Highlights: "The 'Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986' prohibits employers from hiring individuals unauthorized to work in the United States. We conducted this audit to determine the extent to which U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Worksite Enforcement (WSE) program supports ICE's strategic goal of protecting the borders through efficient immigration enforcement. [...] The WSE program's compliance, civil enforcement, and outreach activities are not as effective as they could be in supporting ICE's immigration enforcement strategy. ICE officials did not consistently enforce the ICE 2008 'Guide to Administrative Form I-9 Inspections and Civil Monetary Penalties' (I-9 Guide) against employers. This occurred because the guide does not provide detailed instructions on justifying civil fine reductions, issuing compliance letters, or performing follow-up inspections on warning notices. As a result, the WSE program does not effectively deter employers from violating employment immigration laws and hiring unauthorized alien workers (UAW)."

Caribbean Basin Security Initiative [Updated January 15, 2021]
From the document: "The United States developed the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), a regional U.S. foreign assistance program, in 2009 through a process of dialogue with Caribbean countries. The initiative seeks to reduce illicit trafficking in the region, advance public safety and security, and promote social justice. Because of their geographic location, many Caribbean nations are vulnerable to being used as transit countries for illicit drugs from South America destined for the U.S. and European markets. Strengthened U.S. counternarcotics cooperation with Mexico and Central America--through the Mérida Initiative and the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI)--led U.S. policymakers to anticipate a potential increase in narcotics trafficking through the Caribbean. Many Caribbean countries have also suffered high rates of violent crime, including murder, often associated with drug trafficking activities."

Rethinking Governance in Time of Pandemics in the Arctic
From the Website: "The world is currently facing a common challenge. COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] has turned into a global health crisis which has been affecting almost every individual simultaneously. The level of cooperation and coordination between actors at local, national, and global levels has become highly crucial and the effectiveness of the response mainly depends on good governance. Meanwhile, the Arctic is even more vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic due to its insufficient public health infrastructure. The aim of this paper is to examine the suitable governance models for the Arctic communities in order to cope with crises. Since an efficient governance process pertaining to the Arctic, which includes full participation of all Arctic states as well as Indigenous communities, is essential to implement resilience strategies, scientific governance is suggested as the suitable governance model to cope with crises within the region."

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) and COVID-19 [Updated January 14, 2021]
From the Summary: "The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not currently have a specific standard that protects health care or other workers from airborne or aerosol transmission of disease or diseases transmitted by airborne droplets. Some in Congress, and some groups representing health care, meat and poultry processing, and other workers, are calling on OSHA to promulgate an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to protect workers from exposure to SARS-CoV-2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2], the virus that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) gives OSHA the ability to promulgate an ETS that would remain in effect for up to six months without going through the normal review and comment process of rulemaking. OSHA, however, has rarely used this authority in the past--not since the courts struck down its ETS on asbestos in 1983."

Executive Order 13976: Establishing the Wildland Fire Management Policy Committee
From the Purpose: "Federal wildland fire management lacks a single focal point of responsibility for policy leadership and accountability for cost controls. While executive departments and agencies (agencies) have implemented Executive Order 13855 of December 21, 2018 (Promoting Active Management of America's Forests, Rangelands, and Other Federal Lands To Improve Conditions and Reduce Wildfire Risk), and similar Administration efforts, more must be done to continue to improve interagency coordination. In contrast to effective ground-level coordination with States, including at the National Interagency Fire Center on suppression activity and the Wildland Fire Leadership Council (WFLC) on Federal-State policy coordination, agencies do not adequately or effectively coordinate with each other at the policy level to reduce hazardous fuels and wildfire severity. This order will ensure that agencies effectively work together in coordinating Federal wildland fire management policy to improve funding allocations for hazardous fuel projects, performance measures for suppression operations and hazardous fuels mitigation, procurement, Federal-State cooperation and cost sharing, cross-jurisdictional post-wildfire rehabilitation, monitoring of electric transmission lines and other critical infrastructure, and other functions."

Brexit and Outlook for a U.S.-UK Free Trade Agreement [Updated January 14, 2021]
From the document: "The United Kingdom (UK) is a major U.S. trade and economic partner, and foreign direct investment (FDI) and affiliated activity are key aspects of bilateral ties. The United States is the UK's largest trading partner by country, while the European Union (EU), as a bloc, is its largest overall partner. Brexit, the UK's withdrawal from the EU, and the conclusion of a new UK-EU trade agreement are significant for a potential U.S.-UK free trade agreement (FTA), initiated by the Trump Administration. If a Biden Administration continues FTA negotiations, Congress may actively monitor and shape them, and could consider implementing legislation for any final agreement"

Domestic Terrorism and the Attack on the U.S. Capitol [January 13, 2021]
From the Document: "On January 6, 2021, a large group of individuals breached the U.S. Capitol security while Congress was in session. Members were voting on whether or not to certify President-elect Joe Biden's election victory, and many participants in the attack allegedly intended to thwart this effort. According to media coverage, violent participants injured scores of District of Columbia Metropolitan Police and U.S. Capitol Police officers and killed one, while four civilians have died as well. In light of this incident and the violent threat to the operation of the U.S. Congress, policymakers may be interested in whether this incident may be treated as domestic terrorism and if the participants are domestic terrorists, among other issues. This Insight discusses whether or not participants and their actions may be categorized as domestic terrorists and domestic terrorism, respectively, and issues around designating domestic fringe groups, such as the Boogaloo Bois and Proud Boys who were allegedly involved in the attack, as terrorist organizations. It concludes with possible next steps for Congress."
