The Biden administration is taking significant steps to extend protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was set to expire under the Trump administration. It is working aggressively to shut down Trump’s plans for mass deportation plans.
This effort has sparked debate, with Republican lawmakers raising concerns about its potential implications.

GOP Opposition to Biden’s Immigration Policies
President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have been vocal in opposing the Biden administration’s immigration stance. Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, criticized what he termed “historic levels of illegal immigration” under Biden, linking the influx to a rise in migrant crime and gang activity.
Babin highlighted the emergence of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) as an example of the broader security risks.
Trump himself has targeted Biden’s immigration policies, accusing the administration of allowing individuals from terror watchlists, including members of radical Islamic groups and Chinese operatives, into the U.S.
