President Joe Biden is set to host a White House event celebrating an Obama-era directive that provided deportation protections for young undocumented immigrants. The Biden administration is also considering extending benefits to individuals without legal status but with longstanding ties in the United States.
White House officials are working on a plan that would utilize Biden's executive powers to shield spouses of U.S. citizens without legal status from deportation. This plan may include offering work permits, easing the path to permanent residency, and eventually granting American citizenship to eligible individuals.
