The Biden administration on Friday extended temporary deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants residing in the United States as communities brace for the incoming Trump administration.

During the final days of his administration, President Biden extended TPS for some immigrants from Venezuela, Ukraine, El Salvador and Sudan.

An immigration group sued on Wednesday to block President Donald Trump's move to expand fast-track deportations under his pledge to remove millions of people who are in the country illegally. People facing fast-track deportations do not have access to an attorney and are unable to present evidence against their removal from the U.

The Trump administration is empowering federal immigration officers to consider whether to strip temporary legal status from migrants who entered through former President Joe Biden's signature "parole" programs in an effort to ramp up deportations to record levels,

The far-reaching move empowers federal immigration agencies to target a population of migrants who came to the U.S. with the government's permission.
