Title: ●Clarification of Discretionary Employment Authorization for Certain Alien Populations 
Abstract:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing significant amendments governing discretionary employment authorization for certain aliens who: have final orders of removal but are temporarily released from custody on an order of supervision (OSUP); are paroled into the United States temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit; or have been granted deferred action. This proposed rule would help ensure the continued safety and security of the American people, maintain the integrity of the U.S. immigration system, and strengthen protections for U.S. workers.
