In immigration news, the Biden administration announced Wednesday it’s granting work permits and temporary protection from deportation to nearly half a million Venezuelans. Migrants from Venezuela who were already in the U.S. as of July 31 can apply for temporary protected status. The relief will last for 18 months and comes after a massive push led by immigration rights activists demanding work authorization for the hundreds of thousands of migrants who’ve arrived to the U.S. in recent months.
