President Joe Biden is set to unveil a significant new immigration policy aimed at providing deportation relief for tens of thousands of individuals married to U.S. citizens. This move, scheduled for announcement on Tuesday, is seen as a bold step on immigration by many Democrats.
The policy, building on an Obama-era directive that shielded young undocumented immigrants from deportation, will introduce a program offering a 'parole in place' opportunity for approximately 490,000 spouses of U.S. citizens. This initiative will safeguard them from deportations and grant work permits if they have resided in the country for a minimum of 10 years.
