Biden grants legal protections to undocumented spouses of citizens

President Biden announced a new policy granting legal protections to about 500,000 undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, offering them a pathway to citizenship and the right to work. This action is considered one of the most significant in years to protect immigrants. The decision was made on the 12-year anniversary of DACA. Biden aims to balance tough border policies with immigrant protections amidst public opinion shifts.
