The Biden administration on Friday offered temporary legal residency to the people of Myanmar, where military leaders overthrew the country’s elected government and are using deadly force against protesters.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the temporary protected status would last for 18 months. The designation applies to the people of that country who are already residing in the United States.
Myanmar’s military captured power on 1 February, hours before a new parliament meeting following the election results, which was seen as a coup for the country’s generals. The coup gave impetus to internationally supported efforts to restore democracy and end decades of junta rule. Security forces have killed dozens of protesters since the coup.
Mayorkas said in a statement that the takeover has worsened human conditions, disrupted aid and medical flights in the country and brought economic crisis, allowing Myanmar citizens and long-term residents to safely return to the country It has been difficult to come.
