On Tuesday, Biden announced new actions that would support the ability of undocumented Caribbean and other immigrants to work and remain in the United States with their families without fear of deportation, while they pursue a pathway to legal status.
“We commend President Biden and Vice President Harris for taking welcome action to address the needs of immigrant communities and keep families together,” Murad Awawdeh, president and chief executive officer of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), an umbrella policy and advocacy organization that represents over 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups throughout New York, told Caribbean Life.
