Trump administration allows TPS to continue for Salvadorans – for now
Vanessa Romo for NPR reports that approximately 170,000 noncitizens from El Salvador with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) can continue to lawfully work and live in the U.S. – for the time being. But there are no assurances for the future.
"The Trump administration declined this week to terminate TPS for Salvadorans, even though it has done so for people from other countries like Haiti and Syria. But it also hasn't said whether it will extend the protection in the future.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said it will make an announcement on Salvadoran TPS, `at the appropriate time.'
The lack of action means that TPS recipients still have legal status, but their lives remain in limbo."
