UNITED STATES – President Joe Biden will announce a new policy to protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation.

The policy, affecting those in the country for at least 10 years, allows them to work legally.

The announcement came ahead of an event on Tuesday marking the 12th anniversary of the deferred action for childhood arrivals, which shielded over 530,000 migrants who came to the US as children – known as dreamers – from deportation.

The White House estimates over 500,000 spouses will benefit.
