Biden Issues Sweeping Deportation Protections
January 10, 2025 at 3:02 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

“The Biden administration on Friday issued sweeping extensions of deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of people from Sudan, Ukraine and Venezuela in a move that makes it almost impossible for President-elect Donald J. Trump to swiftly strip the benefit when he takes office,” the New York Times reports.

“The extension of Temporary Protected Status, as the program is called, allows the immigrants to remain in the country with work permits and a shield from deportation for another 18 months from the expiration of their current protection in the spring.”

CBS News: Biden extends legal status of nearly 1 million immigrants.

1. Thank you, Joe

2. But how?

I'm increasingly curious about the *HOW* part of protecting against the asshole undoing what Joe and Dems have done.

3. President Biden is using the time he has left so impressively.

He really cares. We will remember.

4. Isn't this the same protections the Haitians had in Ohio?

MIAMI (AP) — 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 Friday, barely a week before President-elect Donald Trump takes office with promises of hardline immigration policies.

Biden’s administration has strongly supported Temporary Protected Status, which he has broadly expanded to cover about 1 million people. TPS faces an uncertain future under Trump, who tried to sharply curtail its use during his first term as president. Federal regulations would allow the extensions to be terminated early, although that’s never been done before.

Homeland Security also extended TPS for more than 103,000 Ukrainians and 1,900 Sudanese that are already living in the U.S.....

The TPS designation gives people legal authority to be in the country but it doesn’t provide them a long-term path to citizenship. They are reliant on the government renewing their status when it expires. Conservative critics have said that over time, the renewal of the protection status becomes automatic, regardless of what is happening in the person’s home country.

Friday’s announcement, which came as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro took office for a third six-year term in Caracas amid widespread international condemnation, is “based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the Maduro regime,” the department said.

6. Trump may keep Ukraine (White)

but do everything to overturn Sudan (Black / shithole).

8. I don't like any of those people's chances with Trump.

Sudan is black, and also 90% Muslim, so he'll probably want to get rid of them as fast as he can.

Venezuela is in South America, and we all know how much he just loves Latin Americans.

The Ukrainians may well be the safest of those three nationalities, except that Putin will probably have something to say about it, and it won't be anything good.

10. I am guessing Putin would like Ukrainians opposed to him out of the place.

He flooded the half deserted city of Mariupol with Russian nationals.

11. Good point.

They wouldn't be any use to Putin. And Trump likes white Eastern Eurooeans just fine (after all, he married 2 of them!), so he'd probably be happy to let them stay.

7. Good news!

9. Awesome news!! n/t

12. Did he add Haiti?

Time Haiti should be added.

I do love that he is adding protections to many people before Caligula slithers into office.
