foxnews.com

The Biden administration has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals from El Salvador, Venezuela, Sudan, and Ukraine for 18 months. This decision comes just weeks before the Trump administration, which plans to increase deportations, takes office. The extension affects approximately 600,000 Venezuelans, 232,000 Salvadorans, 103,000 Ukrainians, and 1,900 Sudanese. Current TPS holders are eligible, but no new applications will be accepted. The Biden administration's approach contrasts with the previous Trump administration, which sought to limit TPS designations. The upcoming Trump administration has indicated plans to reduce TPS, particularly for Haiti.
