In his final days before leaving office, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has made the decision to extend protections from deportation to thousands of illegal immigrants from the Sudan,

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.

The Department of Homeland Security says about 600,000 Venezuelans and more than 200,000 El Salvadorans already living in the United States can legally remain another 18 months.
