President Biden extended temporary deportation protections for roughly 900,000 people from countries including Venezuela and Ukraine, a move to protect some immigrants ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

President Joe Biden's administration on Friday renewed deportation relief that currently covers 900,000 immigrants from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine and Sudan, a move that would delay any attempts by President-elect Donald Trump to sunset those protections.

Trump and Vice President-elect Vance have both railed against TPS on the campaign, notably spreading conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants in Ohio who were in the United States legally under the program. Their focus on the town of Springfield led to weeks of bomb threats and a pervasive fear among the area's Haitian immigrant community.
