A recent House Judiciary Committee report reveals a substantial rise in the number of immigrants shielded from deportation through the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program during the Biden administration. The TPS program, established in the 1990s, offers protection from deportation and work permits to nationals residing in the U.S. from countries facing unsafe conditions due to armed conflict or natural disasters.
Under the previous administration, efforts were made to limit the number of migrants benefiting from the TPS program. However, the Biden administration saw a significant expansion, with over 1.4 million individuals from 16 different countries granted TPS as of January.
