Trump grants last-minute, yearlong extension to Liberian immigrants threatened with deportation
By Orion Donovan-Smith March 28 at 5:08 PM President Trump on Thursday extended a little-known temporary immigration program for Liberians who have lived in the United States lawfully since at least 2002. The move came just days before the protection would have expired, leaving more than 800 long-term residents subject to deportation.
The decision was welcomed by DED holders, some of whom have lived in the country legally for as long as three decades and have children who are U.S. citizens. Sen. Amy Klobuchar , a 2020 presidential candidate, addresses Liberian activists outside the U.S. Capitol this month. Critics of the program say it is a misuse of the president’s executive authority and has outlived its original intent, to protect refugees escaping a temporary crisis.
Congress must now decide whether to grant permanent status to this group of Liberians. Multiple bills have been introduced in the House to give the immigrants a path to permanent residency, including bipartisan legislation introduced Wednesday by Reps. Dean Phillips and Brian Fitzpatrick .
