Among the nation's nearly 14 million estimated unauthorized immigrants, more than two million didn't sneak over the border or overstay a visa but rather took what was once a legal pathway to the United States endorsed by President Joe Biden. The problem with that? Well, Biden isn’t president anymore, Donald Trump is. And so, what was legal just a few months ago, could easily be illegal tomorrow. The question is, what happens to people who made reasonable plans for staying in the US but suddenly find themselves illegal virtually overnight? What about their families, their kids, their employers? USA TODAY Immigration and Border Reporter Lauren Villagran joins The Excerpt to share her reporting on this developing story.
