U.S. President Joe Biden plans to announce a new policy Tuesday that could eliminate the threat of deportation for thousands of people married to U.S. citizens. Biden will announce the new program at a White House event honoring a directive under former President Barack Obama that granted protection from deportation to some young immigrants.
According to three people with knowledge of the White House plans, Biden held an event at the White House ahead of the announcement of the new policy on immigrants. The decision is expected to allow about 490,000 pairs of U.S. citizens to apply for a "parole" program that would protect them from deportation and give them work permits if they have lived in the country for at least 10 years.
