The Biden administration has announced an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from several countries, enabling over 1 million individuals to continue residing legally in the U.S.
The extension affects approximately 1,900 Sudanese, 103,700 Ukrainians, 232,000 Salvadorans, and 600,000 Venezuelans, allowing them to stay for another 18 months.
This decision emphasizes the significant policy differences between Biden and former President Trump, who aimed to eliminate TPS protections during his term.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) justified the extension due to ongoing environmental and political crises in the affected countries.
The future of TPS remains uncertain, as it may face legal and political challenges should Trump return to office.
