WASHINGTON – The Trump administration said Wednesday that it will allow migrants from six countries to extend their legal U.S.
residency under a temporary status for nine months while courts consider its effort to end the program. President Donald Trump has long sought to terminate the program, which allows migrants from countries devastated by war or natural disaster to legally live in the U.S.
President-elect Joe Biden has promised “an immediate review” of it once he's in office and has said he'll pursue legislation for longtime residents to remain in the U.S.
