Fact Check: "The DHS said that more than half a million people from the four countries were allowed to remain in the US for two years under orders issued by former President Joe Biden."
What We Know
The claim states that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that over half a million individuals from four specific countries were granted permission to stay in the United States for two years due to directives from President Joe Biden. To evaluate this claim, we need to examine the available information from the DHS and other credible sources.
As of now, there is no direct citation or press release from the DHS confirming that "more than half a million people" were specifically allowed to remain in the U.S. under such conditions. The DHS does provide a range of information regarding immigration policies and programs, but specific figures and directives related to this claim are not readily available in the public domain (DHS Home, DHS News).
Analysis
The claim hinges on the assertion that a significant number of individuals from four countries were granted temporary status under Biden's administration. However, without a specific source or document from the DHS to substantiate the figure of "more than half a million," the claim remains unverified.
The DHS's official website provides various resources and updates regarding immigration policies, but the absence of a clear statement or data supporting this claim raises questions about its accuracy. The DHS is a reliable source for information regarding immigration and security policies, but the lack of specific documentation or press releases related to this claim makes it difficult to assess its validity (DHS About, DHS News).
Moreover, the context of the claim is essential. If it refers to temporary protected status or similar programs, the numbers and countries involved would need to be explicitly stated and verified through official channels. The claim does not specify which four countries are being referred to, further complicating the verification process.
Conclusion
Needs Research. The claim that the DHS stated more than half a million people from four countries were allowed to remain in the U.S. under orders from President Biden lacks direct evidence from credible sources. While the DHS is a reliable authority on immigration matters, the absence of specific documentation or press releases supporting this claim necessitates further investigation to confirm its accuracy.
