The Biden administration rolled out deportation protections to nearly a million foreign nationals living in the United States, including hundreds

The Biden administration on Friday extended temporary deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants residing in the United States as communities brace for the incoming Trump administration.

The Biden administration extended temporary protections for immigrants before Donald Trump returns to the White House.

President Joe Biden's administration said Friday that nearly one million immigrants from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine and Venezuela will be allowed to legally remain in the United States for another 18 months.

A new asylum rule by the Biden administration could restrict access for immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, sparking criticism from advocates.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden's administration on Friday renewed deportation relief that currently covers 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine and Sudan, a move that would delay any attempts by President-elect Donald Trump to sunset those protections.

The Homeland Security Department said Friday that over 800,000 Venezuelans and Salvadorans can legally remain for 18 more months.

President Joe Biden’s administration extended Temporary Protected Status for 600,000 Venezuelans and more than 200,000 Salvadorans in the US.

When President Biden took office, his administration could and should have repealed the new rule. Instead, the DHS moved forward full force to implement it. In June of 2022, officials in ICE’s Boston field office informed the Center on Privacy & Technology that the new policy had “been 100% deployed to the field for about two years.”

Ahead of Trump taking office, the move shields Venezuelans, Ukrainians, Salvadorans and Sudanese from possible deportation for 18 months.
