President Joe Biden today signed a memorandum that defers the removal of certain Hong Kong residents who are currently living in the U.S.
Key Points:
Additional information: Official statements by both the Biden Administration and the Department of Homeland Security said that this decision was made to offer safety and protection to Hong Kong residents amid an “ongoing assault on democracy, and rights and freedoms in Hong Kong by the People’s Republic of China.” More information about Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) can be found on the USCIS website.
BAL Analysis: The Department of Homeland Security is expected to issue instructions in the coming days on how eligible foreign nationals may apply for Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) and employment authorization documents (EADs). BAL will continue to monitor these developments and will provide updates as they become available.
