    The Executive Office of the President issued Executive Order 14016, revoking Executive Order 13801, which was about expanding apprenticeships in America. The order instructs government officials to review and potentially rescind any related policies or positions created under the previous order, in line with the law. It clarifies that this change should not interfere with the legal authority of government agencies or impact budgetary processes. Additionally, it states that the order does not create any legal rights for parties against the U.S. government.

    Simple Explanation

    The President took away a rule about helping people learn new jobs through special job training programs, and he told others to look at any related rules and possibly stop them too. This change doesn't mean the government will do anything else or create any new rules right now.

    The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor have issued a rule to expand the discretionary review authority of the Secretary of Labor to include certain H-2B temporary labor certification cases. This rule allows the Secretary to review cases that are pending before or have been decided by the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA). The rule is part of a broader effort to ensure that internal processes are properly supervised by the Secretary and is expected to be used mainly for cases of notable importance. Public comments are encouraged, but significant adverse comments could halt the rule's implementation.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a new rule that lets a big boss named the Secretary of Labor look at special work cases for people from other countries. It's like giving them a chance to double-check and make sure important decisions are being made fairly and carefully.
