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.
