Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto , D-Nev., is calling on the Biden administration to extend deportation protections and work permits for illegal immigrants in the U.S. She pointed to the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a status administered by the Department of Homeland Security .

TPS grants protection to nationals from countries considered unsafe to return them to.

The Biden administration has sought to provide additional safeguards for those protected from deportation via the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
