President Biden has extended deportation relief for 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan for an additional 18 months. This renewal allows them to remain in the U.S. and work legally. The Temporary Protected Status program now covers over 1 million people from 17 countries. Biden's administration has significantly increased TPS eligibility since 2021, contrasting with former President Trump's previous efforts to limit it. Activists are calling for broader TPS protections for more recent arrivals and other nations. Currently, around 600,000 Venezuelans benefit from this status, which was first granted in 2021 due to ongoing instability in their home country.
