Biden admin announces deportation shield for nearly 1M migrants

 January 11, 2025

Donald Trump had planned to accomplish some serious immigration reform on day one of his presidency, but Joe Biden is doing everything in his power to prevent that.

Biden's latest stunt was to announce that nearly one MILLION migrants from Sudan, Ukraine, El Salvador, and Venezuela will be allowed to stay in America for the next year and a half.

According to the New York Post, "The Department of Homeland Security extended by another 18 months Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 1,900 Sudanese immigrants, 103,700 Ukrainian immigrants, 232,000 Salvadoran immigrants and 600,000 Venezuelans."

The program will now allow up to 937,600 eligible foreign nationals to remain in America until 2026, with the exact end date varying by country.

The protection was initially scheduled to expire later in 2025.

TPS comes from a law signed by President George H. W. Bush back in 1990 and "provides work permits for migrants from up to 16 countries who want to stay rather in America than return to home nations marred by armed conflict, political instability or other threatening conditions."

Critics of Joe Biden's move will say that Joe isn't doing this to protect the migrants from unsafe conditions in their home countries, but simply to spite Donald Trump.

"We’re going to stop doing mass grants of Temporary Protected Status," JD Vance had promised in October.

Not if Biden can help it.
