The Biden administration has announced an expansion of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Venezuelan migrants, allowing recent arrivals to apply for deportation protections and work permits. This move is in response to the growing number of people fleeing the South American country and elsewhere to arrive at the U.S. border with Mexico, as well as the request from cities struggling to house asylum-seekers. The TPS program was created to offer a temporary safe haven to migrants from countries facing humanitarian crises, and Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S. before March 2021 are eligible for the program.

A federal appeals court has temporarily paused a lower court's ruling that would have required Texas to remove its controversial floating river barriers from the Rio Grande. The barriers, which are intended to deter migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, were installed by the state of Texas and will remain in place for the time being. The Justice Department had argued that the barrier was a violation of the U.S. Constitution and the International Boundary and Water Commission Treaty of 1970, while Texas argued that the barrier was necessary to protect the state from illegal immigration. The appeals court's decision is only temporary, and the case will continue to be litigated in the courts.
