The Trump administration has unveiled a new immigration enforcement memo that empowers federal officers to reassess the temporary legal status of migrants who entered the US under the Biden administration. This move targets individuals who were granted temporary protection or other forms of relief, potentially exposing them to deportation. Immigration lawyers and advocates are concerned about the implications of this policy, which may affect thousands of people. The memo is part of the administration's broader efforts to tighten immigration enforcement, including border security and deportation policies. Key issues include immigration reform, border control, and migrant rights.
