President Joe Biden’s administration is taking steps to
extend protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose temporary
protected status is set to expire early in the President-elect Donald Trump-led
administration.
The New York Times, citing U.S. officials and documents,
reported on Friday that the latest move by the Biden administration signals an
effort to make it harder for Trump to execute his planned massive deportation
efforts.
The development comes after Trump made several appointments to
carry out plans for the massive deportation of illegal immigrants from the U.S.
In addition to appointing Tom Homan as his “border czar,”
Trump named two officials—Rodney S. Scott and Caleb Vitello—to spearhead his
proposed overhaul of the U.S. immigration system, with a focus on large-scale
deportations.
Recall that Trump had vowed to carry out the
largest deportation operation in American history if re-elected for a second
term.
Trump has also criticized the Biden administration’s decision
to allow thousands of radical Islamic terrorists into the U.S.
Currently, TPS—a program that allows individuals from
countries experiencing conflict or disasters to live and work in the
U.S.—supports around one million immigrants from 17 nations.
