President Joe Biden has ordered an expansive election year step to offer relief to potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S. It comes after the Democratic president's own aggressive immigration crackdown at the southern border earlier this month. Tuesday's new U.S. policy will allow certain U.S. citizens' spouses who lack legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship. Senior administration officials say the move could affect upwards of half a million immigrants. Biden spoke about his plans Tuesday at the White House, saying: “The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history."

President Joe Biden says he’s restricting asylum to help “gain control” of the U.S.-Mexico border. The American Civil Liberties Union says it'll sue over Biden's plan to enact immediate significant restrictions on migrants seeking asylum at the border. Biden signed the proclamation Tuesday as the White House tries to neutralize immigration as a political liability before November's elections. Biden's order would bar migrants from being granted asylum when U.S. officials deem the southern border to be overwhelmed. The Democratic president has contemplated unilateral action for months, especially after Republican lawmakers rejected a bipartisan security deal at the behest of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Trump says Biden has surrendered the southern border.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign says the Biden administration's upcoming executive order to limit border crossings is ineffective and that President Joe Biden could completely close the border “with a swipe of the same pen.” The White House is telling lawmakers that Biden is preparing to sign an executive order to shut down entries to the U.S.-Mexico border once the number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry. The border could be closed to migrants seeking asylum effectively immediately because daily figures exceed the limit. Several people familiar with the discussions say the border will reopen once that number declines to 1,500. Biden is expected to unveil his actions at the White House on Tuesday.

President Joe Biden, intent on selling his legislative accomplishments this election year, has gone to New Hampshire to detail the impact of a law that helps veterans get key benefits as a result of burn pit or other toxic exposure during their service. His administration said Tuesday more than 1 million claims have been granted to veterans since Biden signed the so-called PACT Act into law in August 2022. That amounts to about 888,000 veterans and survivors in all 50 states who have been able to receive disability benefits under the law. That totals about $5.7 billion in benefits given to veterans and their survivors.

President Joe Biden says he's immediately rushing badly needed weaponry to Ukraine now that he's signed into law a $95 billion war aid measure that also includes assistance for Israel, Taiwan and other allies. The Democratic president Wednesday reached the end of a long, painful battle with Republicans to secure urgently needed replenishment of aid for Ukraine and promised U.S. weapons shipment would begin making the way to Ukraine within hours. But significant damage was done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s invasion during the monthslong funding impasse. Even with the new weapons and ammunition, it’s unlikely Ukraine will immediately recover after months of setbacks against Russia.
