The Biden administration has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 900,000 immigrants from countries including Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine, and Sudan. Announced on Jan. 10, the policy grants an additional 18 months of deportation relief and work permits for eligible individuals.

This move is seen as a direct contrast to policies advocated by incoming President Donald Trump, who has consistently opposed immigration relief measures. During his first term (2017–2021), Trump attempted to terminate most TPS registrations but was blocked by US courts. With Trump set to return to the White House, he has pledged to significantly reduce immigration protections, putting the future of TPS under threat once again.

Biden's decision marks a continuation of his administration's efforts to expand TPS eligibility since he took office in 2021. The measure allows immigrants from conflict-stricken or disaster-hit nations to remain and work legally in the US, granting them temporary reprieve from deportation.
