Biden administration extending temporary legal status for 300K immigrants Trump sought to end
BY ALEX GANGITANO - 06/13/23 11:39 AM ET
The Biden administration is rescinding the Trump-era termination of extending temporary legal status for thousands of immigrants from four countries, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Tuesday.
The Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua in May 2018, effective January 2020.
On Tuesday, the DHS announced an 18-month extension of TPS designations from these four countries. Beneficiaries from the countries will be able to re-register to continue their status throughout the extension.
The DHS, which said it is closely monitoring conditions to assess if the TPS designations are appropriate, is acting “relevant to the litigation challenging the now-rescinded terminations,” according to the agency.
