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?
