Biden administration extends temporary protected status for over 200,000 Salvadorans

newsweek.com

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended Temporary Protected Status for over 200,000 Salvadorans and around 600,000 Venezuelans for another 18 months. This decision comes as the Biden administration prepares to transition to the incoming Trump administration. The extension is based on ongoing humanitarian crises in Venezuela and environmental challenges in El Salvador. TPS allows immigrants to stay in the U.S. without fear of deportation due to specific conditions in their home countries. The future of TPS under the Trump administration remains uncertain. Trump has previously indicated plans to reduce TPS usage, but the fate of current recipients is unclear as he takes office.
