News brief

Associated Press

Biden extends protected status for some migrants. About 600,000 Venezuelans and more than 230,000 Salvadorans already living in the United States can legally remain another 18 months, the Department of Homeland Security said on Jan. 10, barely a week before President-elect Donald Trump takes office with promises of hardline immigration policies. The immigrants have Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which President Joe Biden’s administration has strongly supported. TPS faces an uncertain future under Trump, who tried to sharply curtail its use during his first term as president. Homeland Security also extended TPS for more than 103,000 Ukrainians and 1,900 Sudanese already living in the U.S.

Trump targets temporary protected status. What that could mean for Haitians in the US.
