Biden's Last-Ditch Move: 1 Million Immigrants To Overstay In U.S Before Trump Begins Deportation

In a last-minute move ahead of the 2025 elections, President Biden has extended temporary deportation protections for nearly 1 million migrants, including those from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine, and Venezuela. This action comes just days before Donald Trump re-enters the White House with promises to end these protections and push forward with mass deportations. As Trump gears up for a tougher immigration crackdown, Biden's decision could throw a wrench into Trump's plans. But with a history of court battles over similar policies, how long will these protections last? The immigration showdown in the U.S. is about to get even more intense. #BidenVsTrump #ImmigrationPolicy #TPSExtension #TrumpDeportations #MigrantProtection #ImmigrationShowdown #USPolitics #2025Election #USGovernment #DeportationDebate #BidenImmigration Also Read Trump's Words On Greenland Ring Alarms In Europe, But Officials Have Guarded Response :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-words-on-greenland-ring-alarms-in-europe-but-officials-have-guarded-response-4039489.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Slams Biden Over 'Witch-Hunt', Announces Appeal After Hush Money Trial: 'Pathetic, Un-American' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-slams-biden-over-witch-hunt-announces-appeal-after-hush-money-trial-pathetic-un-a-4039405.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Sentenced In Hush Money Case: First US President With Felony Conviction :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-sentenced-in-hush-money-case-no-jail-term-no-fine-011-4039231.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.97~ED.103~PR.274~
