Summary

President Biden has extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 230,000 Salvadorans and 600,000 Venezuelans, shielding them from deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security cited environmental disasters in El Salvador and ongoing political and economic crises in Venezuela as reasons.

TPS allows immigrants legal residency but not a path to citizenship, requiring renewals.

The move comes amid concerns over a potential rollback of TPS policies under the incoming Trump administration.

Advocates see this as a temporary relief and continue pushing for broader protections for other vulnerable groups.

    Trump literally won an election off the back of promising to tackle this and Biden is “yeah fuck your democracy”.

      Well this is a dumb way to look at it especially because our current president is Biden

      Yay, right? I mean, that’s what Lemmy and Reddit are proud of? Sticking it to Trump and the 100’s of millions of people that voted for him.
