Senate Democrats press Biden to strengthen immigration protections before Trump takes office

Washington — A group of Senate Democrats is pressing President Biden to work to “protect immigrant families” in the final weeks of his presidency, with President-elect Donald Trump set to take office next month.

“As Senators who represent diverse states across our nation and who collectively represent millions of immigrant families, we write to express our deep concern about the threat the incoming administration poses to immigrants in our communities,” the group of senators, led by Democratic Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, wrote in a letter to the president Monday.

The senators cited Trump’s threat of mass deportations that they say will “jeopardize the safety and security” of millions of families, “sow deep distrust and fear” in the communities and “destabilize the U.S. economy.” And they urged Mr. Biden to take a number of actions in advance of Trump’s inauguration, stressing that the “window to secure and finalize your administration’s policies is closing rapidly.”

“We urge you to act decisively between now and the inauguration of the President-elect to complete the important work of the past four years and protect immigrant families,” Durbin said in the letter, which was also signed by Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico and Alex Padilla of California.

Among the requests, the group asked the president to prioritize redesignating and extending Temporary Protected Status for all eligible countries, which allows migrants from countries experiencing unsafe conditions to legally reside in the U.S. The group also asked the president to expedite the processing of benefit requests for recipients of DACA, the program for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and have been granted protection from deportation.

The push comes as Trump has made clear his intention to pursue a radical shift on immigration policy, which became a key part of his campaign as he promised to target both unauthorized and legal immigrants with unprecedented measures. 

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, reiterated a number of the pledges, including that he’s “absolutely” still planning to end birthright citizenship on Day One of his presidency. He also made clear that he plans to carry out his mass deportations pledge, beginning with criminals. 

When asked by host Kristen Welker whether it’s possible to deport everyone who’s in the U.S. illegally, Trump responded that “you have no choice.” He said his administration would be “starting with the criminals” before others, noting that “we’re going to see how it goes.”

On DACA recipients, known as Dreamers, Trump said he would work with Democrats on a plan, claiming that “Republicans are very open to the Dreamers.”

“I want to be able to work something out,” Trump said, while indicating that he wants the DACA recipients to be able to stay. Legislative efforts to codify the DACA program have failed for more than a decade, and Republican-led states have filed numerous lawsuits over the years arguing the program is unconstitutional. The president-elect tried to end the program during his first administration.

On immigrant families more broadly, Trump emphasized that he doesn’t “want to be breaking up families,” saying that “the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.”

In their letter, the senators noted that while they support “commonsense” border security measures, they “will continue to oppose any policies that contradict our nation’s core values.”

Jamie Foxx reveals he had brain bleed and stroke: “I went to hell and back”

Jamie Foxx details 2023 hospitalization


Jamie Foxx shares details about 2023 hospitalization in Netflix special

03:47

Jamie Foxx is finally sharing details about his 2023 near-death experience in his new comedy special “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was.” 

Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 while filming a movie in Atlanta. At the time, his daughter Corinne said on social media that the comedian had “experienced a medical complication.” Fox later said that his daughter, his sister Diedra Dixon and medical staff saved his life. He said that he didn’t remember nearly three weeks of his life following the unspecified scare. 

In his newest special, which was just released on Netflix, Foxx said that he had experienced a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He said he was in a coma for 20 days, and his condition was so grave that his family traveled to be by his bedside, even as they worked to keep details of his condition private. 

“I went to hell and back,” Foxx said. 

Foxx said that when he woke from the coma, he found himself in a wheelchair and unable to walk. The Oscar-winning actor said he had to relearn basic functions and rely on nurses for daily needs like showering. Doctors told him a recovery was possible, but that it would be a difficult process. 

During the special, Foxx showed off just how effective his recovery had been. He sang, danced and played the piano, and said his family and faith had helped keep him heal. 

“CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King attended one of three tapings of Foxx’s special. King said that he was “in fine form” during the tapings, and said she was glad he had been able to tell his story. 

“He did three nights in Atlanta with a packed audience,” King recalled. “Nobody ever revealed what had happened, because everybody wanted Jamie to tell it on his own terms.”
