The Biden administration has expanded the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Program for Ukrainians in the U.S., allowing an additional 166,700 Ukrainians to apply for deportation protections and work permits. This decision comes in light of Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia and the resulting humanitarian crisis. The program was initially created in 2022 after Russian forces invaded Ukraine, leading to a mass exodus of Ukrainian refugees. The Biden administration has admitted a record number of Ukrainians and sees it as part of its broader efforts to support Ukraine's war effort. The TPS program has also been expanded for other countries, but there have been criticisms and calls for further expansion.
