Joe Biden has paid tribute to Walter Mondale, the former vice president who has died aged 93.
Mr Mondale served as Jimmy Carter’s deputy and went on to lose the 1984 presidential election to Ronald Reagan. Mr Biden described him as “unwavering in his pursuit of progress” and said he commanded “universal respect” on Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, Mr Biden’s administration has banned immigration authorities from using charged terms like “illegal alien”.
The head of US Customs and Border Protection claimed his agency intended to maintain “the dignity of every individual with whom we interact”.
