Biden extends temporary protected status for 800,000 migrants as Trump plans immigration changes

euronews.com

The Biden administration has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 800,000 migrants, including 600,000 Venezuelans and over 230,000 Salvadorans, for another 18 months. This decision comes as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office with plans for stricter immigration policies. Additionally, TPS has been extended for more than 103,000 Ukrainians and 1,900 Sudanese already in the U.S. The program allows individuals from countries facing crises to remain and work legally, but it does not provide a path to citizenship. Critics argue that TPS renewals may become automatic, regardless of conditions in home countries. Advocates are concerned about upcoming expirations for TPS holders from other nations, such as Nepal and Nicaragua.
