Biden memo eyed expanded TPS protections for up to 3 million people

A newly disclosed Biden White House memo proposed expanding Temporary Protected Status to roughly 3.1 million noncitizens (including Guatemalans, Ecuadorians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans), noting that previous court challenges blocked Trump-era terminations. Sen. Eric Schmitt released the document, arguing the plan would have prolonged deportations, but the proposals were never fully enacted and TPS protections have continued to evolve amid litigation and administration actions.

"US Senator Urges DOD Action as Chinese and Philippine Vessels Collide in South China Sea"

GOP Senator Eric Schmitt is urging the Pentagon to support the Philippines in countering China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea after a collision between Chinese and Filipino Coast Guard vessels. The Chinese Coast Guard blocked the entrance to a disputed area, leading to injuries among Filipino crew members. The U.S. has condemned China's actions and reaffirmed its commitment to its mutual defense treaty with the Philippines. The territorial disputes in the South China Sea are expected to be discussed at an upcoming summit, with concerns of a larger conflict involving the U.S. and warnings from China to stop meddling in the region.
