Democrats have 40 days left and they’re using it to… protest the amount of zip codes we have in the country???

Agree-- in addition, Salvadoran & Honduran TPS holders have spent a quarter century, often more than half of their lives, in the U.S. They have deep roots in their communities and if they lose status, they'd be separated from their families and U.S.-born children Nat’l TPS Alliance

Just days ago, one of the last major hospitals operating in Port-au-Prince was partially burned down by gangs. And yet the Biden administration keeps the deportation flights running.

Some huge news on Temporary Protected Status. ARCHIVED: Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas just extended four current TPS designations which were set to expire in the next few months: - El Salvador - Venezuela - Ukraine - Sudan This will extend 18 additional months of protection for roughly 850,000 people.

Quick correction on numbers; DHS says these four countries' designations cover roughly 937,000 people, not 850,000. - El Salvador (232,000) - Venezuela (600,000) - Ukraine (103,700) - Sudan (1,900)

Wonderful news!! Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extended designations which were set to expire in the next few months: - El Salvador - Venezuela - Ukraine - Sudan This means 18 additional months of protection for roughly 850,000 people. What about Honduras??

Immigrant laborers will clean up and rebuild Los Angeles. They've already started, volunteering their labor to clean up the streets of Pasadena. In the process, they are creating community. This is heartwarming and necessary NDLON #immigrantsarevital latimes.com/delos/story/20…

The Biden administration can build on their successful use of #TPS by extending & redesignating #TPSforHonduras and #TPSforNicaragua. TPS protections are crucial to creating a more humane, safe, & orderly immigration system that keeps families & individuals safe & together.

I think that today's #DACA decision is a big deal The 5th Cir. Appellate Court recognized the federal govt.'s argument that DACA's protection from deportation makes ICE's job easier So the court would allow that part of DACA to remain, while cutting the work permits
