Biden extends Temporary Protected Status for over 1 million immigrants

newsweek.com — January 11, 2025 at 12:02 AM UTC

The Biden administration has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from several countries, allowing over 1 million individuals to stay in the U.S. for an additional 18 months. This decision contrasts with former President Trump's efforts to end the program. The extension affects about 1,900 Sudanese, 103,700 Ukrainians, 232,000 Salvadorans, and 600,000 Venezuelans. TPS provides legal work authorization and protection from deportation for immigrants from countries facing crises, but does not offer a path to citizenship. Biden's move comes amid political pressure and highlights the differing immigration policies between his administration and Trump's. The extension may face legal challenges if Trump returns to office, as he has promised to limit TPS protections.
