Judge Blocks the End of TPS

Judge blocks the end of TPS for Salvadorans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Sudanese

On October 3^rd, a U.S. District Court judge blocked the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan. This injunction will remain in effect until the lawsuit challenging the government’s decision to terminate TPS is resolved. This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released its plan to comply with the injunction. According to the plan, TPS holders from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaraga and Sudan would continue to have lawful status as long as the court order is in effect. If the order is reversed, those TPS holders would continue to have lawful status for six months after the reversal. We will have more details about DHS’s compliance with this court order soon, when DHS publishes its plan in the Federal Register.
