The termination of a program that has allowed nationals of El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan to temporarily live and work in the United States was upheld by a federal court of appeals last week. This decision is expected to affect approximately 400,000 foreign nationals, many of whom have lived in the United States for decades, as well as another 200,000 U.S. citizen family members.
As a result of this recent ruling, TPS is scheduled to end in March 2021 for Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Sudanese, and, in November 2021, for nationals of El Salvador. The Trump Administration has been trying to terminate TPS for nationals of these countries since 2017 and have been blocked by federal court litigation.
