Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., said in a post on X that "President Biden has the power to protect immigrant families, and I’m calling on him to use it."

She pointed to the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which is a status administered by the Department of Homeland Security that allows nationals who are living in the U.S. already to obtain work permits and be shielded from deportation.
