Senate Democrats are upping the pressure on the Biden administration to take proactive action and protect hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants in the United States from possible deportation under President-elect Donald Trump.

Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) publicly called on President Joe Biden Wednesday to extend the timeline of protections for Dreamers, illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children, and other groups protected through the Temporary Protected Status program.
