One of Joe Biden’s final acts on immigration was to extend four grants of Temporary Protected Status – covering nearly one million immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan – through to 2026.

Ahead of Trump’s taking office, the move shields Venezuelans, Ukrainians, Salvadorans and Sudanese from possible deportation for 18 months.

The Biden administration on Friday extended temporary deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants residing in the United States as communities brace for the incoming Trump administration.
