Biden extends legal status for over 300,000 immigrants, reversing Trump's policies.

The Biden administration has extended legal status for more than 300,000 people from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal for 18 months, providing "continued safety and protection" for those already legally in the U.S. on Temporary Protected Status. However, some advocates and members of Congress are disappointed, as they had hoped for a more generous offer, including expanded eligibility for more recent arrivals from these countries. The decision benefits an estimated 334,000 people from the four countries, including 239,000 from El Salvador.
