Trump Administration Allows TPS to Continue for Salvadorans – for Now
More than 170,000 Salvadorans keep work permits and deportation protection until USCIS makes an official announcement on the program's future.
- On Wednesday, September 9, the TPS expiration date for Salvadorans passed without a government announcement, triggering an automatic extension. USCIS confirmed that Salvadoran individuals present in the United States retain protection and work authorization until further notice.
- The administration of Donald Trump has ended TPS protections for 13 of 17 countries, fueling uncertainty for more than 170,000 Salvadorans who have lived in the United States for 25 years building homes and businesses.
- Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates an automatic extension if the government fails to issue an official announcement 60 days before expiration. Attorney Kelley Ortega noted the government has not published documents verifying work authorization.
- Francisco Semi, president of the National Salvadoran American Association, described the situation as a 'gray area,' noting that beneficiaries cannot plan long-term while awaiting an official government announcement regarding their status.
- Ortega urged beneficiaries not to wait for further deadlines, suggesting current protection could last through March 9, 2027. With midterm elections approaching on November 3, advocates warn TPS holders must pursue permanent legal alternatives.
