It was called the Unity Platform Back in 2020.

This starts at page 102 (There's a longer summary on page 38-41):
Quote:IMMIGRATION UNITY TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Out of many, we are one. That bedrock American idea has animated our country from its earliestdays, inspiring people from every corner of the earth to participate in our great democraticexperiment. The Trump Administration has repudiated that idea and abandoned our values as adiverse, compassionate, and welcoming country. Instead of pursuing a sensible, humane, and responsible approach to immigration that strengthens the United States, the Trump Administration has been callous, cruel, and reckless in the extreme. President Trump’s immigration policies have made our communities less safe, undermined our economy, and tarnished our image around the world.
This Administration’s cruelty and dehumanization of immigrants stretches the imagination and shocks the conscience: forcibly separating families and putting children in cages; deporting veterans who have fought to defend our freedoms; conducting militarized raids on our workplaces; endangering lives by denying COVID-19 testing and treatment based on immigration status, including to essential workers at the forefront of the pandemic response; banning people from traveling to the United States based on their faith or their country of origin;and turning away refugees and asylum seekers fleeing violence and persecution.
President Trump has used immigration to divide Americans, not to unite us as one. He has calledMexican immigrants rapists, murderers, and drug dealers; said our Black immigrant communitiescome from “shithole countries,” enacted immigration and travel bans targeting Muslims andArabs, and tried to dismantle family-based visas which disproportionately impact Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Democrats believe America can do better. Indeed, we must. We will work with Congress to reform our immigration system to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented, prioritize family unity, provide a fair and just system that helps grow and enhance our economy, safeguard our security, and restore our cherished values. And we will renew disciplined American leadership to help mitigate and address the root causes of migrationaround the world, from Southeast Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa to Central America.

Undoing the Harms of the Trump Administration and Righting the Wrongs
Undoing The Harms of the Trump Administration:
● Maintain Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and support the American
Dream and Promise Act; streamline applications for deferred action or humanitarian relief and expand accessibility to this discretionary relief, including expanding the
eligibility guidelines and narrowing the disqualification guidelines.
● Immediately terminate the Trump Administration's discriminatory travel and immigration
bans that have had disproportionate impact on Muslim and African people, and invite
visa re-application for individuals from these countries.
● Take urgent action to undo the Trump Administration’s unilateral executive orders on immigration, including abuses implemented during the pandemic. Uphold our
commitment to offer refuge to asylum seekers, consistent with public health practices
during the pandemic.
● Enact a 100-day moratorium on deportations of people already in the United States while conducting a full-scale study on current practices to develop recommendations for transforming enforcement policies and practices at ICE and CBP.
● Direct DHS’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties to undertake a review of the
Trump Administration’s immigration policies and provide recommendations for redress. Direct the Inspectors General (OIG) to conduct an investigation into immigration enforcement spending, detention determinations, detention conditions and practices, including whether there are policies that discriminate against black and brown immigrants and other instances of racial, ethnic, religious, and LGBTQ+ bias.
● Immediately halt enforcement of and rescind the Trump administration’s new public
charge regulations, which have racial underpinnings and undermine critical access to
public benefits and resources. Eliminate the Trump Administration’s expansion of the
public charge regulations applicable to both DHS and DOS (and other related agency
rules), and work with Congress to ensure that antiquated immigration laws are not used to discriminate against immigrants based on their wealth, race, country of origin, language abilities, or disability status. Work with Congress and through executive action to ensure that the public charge determination is not used to deter access to essential public benefits, healthcare services and other key resources.
● End the Trump Administration’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ policy by rescinding the Department of Justice (DOJ) memoranda and prioritize the criminal prosecution of human traffickers, smugglers, and others engaged in serious crimes. Ensure respect for the facts and circumstances of individual cases and end indiscriminate prosecutions, including of asylum seekers. End mass prosecutions of individuals who cross the border without regard to the facts and circumstances of their cases, through practices like Operation
Streamline, that deny individuals their right to a fair hearing and due process.
● Re-establish asylum procedures at the border, reversing nearly a dozen Trump policies that have effectively closed the U.S. asylum system, including:
○ End the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) also known as “Remain in Mexico”
and other policies that effectively deny protection and due process to asylum
seekers.
○ Establish a humane, expeditious process to enable migrants who have been
returned to Mexico to make asylum claims.
○ End the Asylum Cooperative Agreements the U.S. has signed with Honduras, El
Salvador, and Guatemala.
○ Establish an effective and fair process for asylum, end prosecution of asylum
seekers at the border, and ensure inappropriate convictions under the Trump
Administration do not create a barrier for asylum seekers.
● Roll back “performance” quotas for immigration judges.
● End the abuse and politicization of the denaturalization process, by eliminating offices created by the Trump Administration to denaturalize citizens and make sure this extraordinary power is used only in the most egregious cases.
● End the “National Emergency” designation that redirects congressionally appropriated funds for the Department of Defense to build a wall along the southern border.
