Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a program that has existed since the first Bush administration, allowing limited, temporary, residency status for migrants from countries that are in extreme turmoil, and it's humanitarianly unsafe to not welcome them here.

Countries that currently have TPS immigration rules include:

Afghanistan (Extended until May 20, 2025)
Burma (Valid through November 25, 2025)
Cameroon (Extended until June 7, 2025)
El Salvador (Extended until September 9, 2026)
Ethiopia (Valid through December 12, 2025)
Haiti (Extended through February 3, 2026)
Honduras (Extended until July 5, 2025)
Lebanon (Valid through May 27, 2026)
Nepal (Extended until June 24, 2025)
Nicaragua (Extended until July 5, 2025)
Somalia (Extended until March 17, 2026)
South Sudan (Extended until May 3, 2025)
Sudan (Extended until October 19, 2026)
Syria (Extended until September 30, 2025)
Ukraine (Extended until October 19, 2025)
Venezuela (Extended until October 2, 2025)
Yemen (Extended until March 3, 2026)

Trump revoked the status for Venezuela yesterday. I would have thought Haiti would be first on the chopping block, but I was wrong.

Court challenges are sure to ensue.

Really no thread on this?
 
I’m not sure I understand how non citizens hoping to get that TPS status have the legal standing to take it to court ?
I haven’t followed this closely so I’m not familiar with all the details.

Trump was hobbled in court trying to end TPS status for various countries during his first administration.
 
My humorous take: Venezuela is ruled by a dictator. Trump loves strong dictators. So he doesn't understand why Venezuelans shouldn't be happy to go back home.

Also, the Venezuelan TPS immigrants tend to have (lots of) money. They are not poor vegetable pickers.
 
The fact that no one comments on this reflects on the reality of our farked up immigration policies. People don't even understand all the programs that allow people to be here in the first place!

We have a location in South Florida that has probably 90 percent Haitian workers, caring for primarily Haitian nursing home patients, in an area of town that is primarily composed of Haitian residents.

Honestly, there aren't many of our workers on TPS. Most have Green Cards (permanent residency).

BUT... if ICE comes into that community and starts rounding up people? That area will turn into a ghost town.
