In a significant move ahead of the anticipated Trump administration, the Biden administration has extended temporary protected status (TPS) for approximately 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan. This decision comes as a protective measure against potential mass deportations expected under the incoming administration. Officials, including DHS Secretary Mayorkas, have emphasized the urgency of this extension to safeguard the rights and status of these vulnerable migrant communities. The announcement, welcomed by various lawmakers and advocates, underscores Biden’s commitment to immigration reform and humanitarian protections during a tumultuous transition of power.
