Dem senator urges Biden to extend protections for illegal immigrants before Trump admin: ‘Nobody is safe'
Fox News
Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is calling on President Biden to extend deportation protections for illegal immigrants in the U.S. before President-elect Trump takes office.
She pointed to the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which is a status administered by the Department of Homeland Security that allows nationals who are living in the U.S. already to obtain work permits and be shielded from deportation.

TPS grants protection to nationals from countries considered unsafe to return them to. It has been used broadly by the Biden administration, including to protect hundreds of thousands of nationals from Haiti and Venezuela.
