Overview
On January 11, 2025, the Biden administration announced an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 600,000 Venezuelans, 234,000 Salvadorans, and others from Ukraine and Sudan. The extension, lasting 18 months, allows these immigrants to remain and work legally in the U.S. amidst ongoing humanitarian crises in their home countries. Immigration advocates express relief but remain wary of potential future changes under a Trump administration, which has historically sought to curtail TPS. This extension highlights the ongoing policy divide between the current and former administrations regarding immigration protections.
