    On January 20, 2021, President Biden directed the reinstatement of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for eligible Liberians. As a result, these Liberians have their employment authorization extended until June 30, 2022. The notice also automatically extends certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and assists eligible Liberians in applying for adjustment of status under the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness (LRIF) provision. This measure provides Liberians with additional time to apply for permanent residency and ensures they can continue working during this period.

    Simple Explanation

    Eligible Liberians can stay in the U.S. and keep working until June 2022, thanks to a new rule from President Biden, giving them more time to become permanent residents.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued an interim final rule in 2006 focused on the rights of "arriving aliens" in removal proceedings to adjust their status to permanent residency. This rule involved removing certain provisions and reorganizing others, but an oversight led to incorrect regulatory cross-references. The purpose of the published correction is to amend these references without making any substantive policy changes. DHS bypassed the usual public notice and comment process for this correction because it only involves non-substantive amendments to regulatory cross-references.

    Simple Explanation

    DHS and DOJ fixed an old paperwork mistake about how certain people coming to the U.S. can ask to stay. They didn't change any rules, just fixed the way they were listed.
