About 600,000 Venezuelans and greater than 200,000 Salvadorans already residing in the US can legally stay one other 18 months, the Division of Homeland Safety mentioned Friday, barely per week earlier than President-elect Donald Trump takes workplace with guarantees of hardline immigration insurance policies.

The selections mark the Biden administration’s newest in help of Non permanent Protected Standing, which he has sharply expanded to cowl about 1 million individuals. TPS faces an unsure future underneath Trump, who tried to sharply curtail its use throughout his first time period as president.

The announcement, which got here as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro took workplace for a 3rd six-year time period in Caracas amid widespread worldwide condemnation, is “based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the Maduro regime,” the division mentioned.

Homeland Safety cited “environmental situations in El Salvador that forestall people from returning,” particularly heavy rains and storms within the final two years.

The TPS designation offers individuals authorized authority to be within the nation however it doesn’t present them a long-term path to citizenship. They’re reliant on the federal government renewing their standing when it expires. Conservative critics have mentioned that over time, the renewal of the safety standing turns into automated, regardless of what’s occurring within the individual’s dwelling nation.

Congress created TPS in 1990 to forestall deportations to nations affected by pure disasters or civil try, giving individuals authorization to work in increments of as much as 18 months at a time.

About 1 million immigrants from 17 nations are protected by TPS, together with individuals from Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Sudan and Lebanon. Salvadorans are one of many largest beneficiaries, having gained TPS in 2001 after earthquakes rocked the Central American nation.

TPS for Salvadorans was to expired in March 2025 and was prolonged till Sept. 9, 2026.

Trump and his working mate, JD Vance, steered they might reduce using TPS and insurance policies granting short-term standing as they pursue mass deportations. Throughout his first administration, Trump ended TPS for El Salvador however was held up in court docket.

DHS mentioned the extension of TPS for 234,000 Salvadorans that at present are TPS beneficiaries relies on geological and climate occasions. Vital storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024 continued to have an effect on areas closely impacted by earthquakes in 2001.

Within the final months advocates have elevated strain on the Biden administration to ask for TPS extensions for individuals who have already got it, and to guard individuals from different nations, like Guatemala and Ecuador.

“This extension is just a small victory,” mentioned Felipe Arnoldo Díaz, an activist with the Nationwide TPS Alliance. “Our biggest concern is that after El Salvador, there are countries whose TPS are expiring soon and are being left out, like Venezuela, Nepal, Sudan, Nicaragua, and Honduras”.

The cash that Salvadorans ship house is a significant financial help for the Central American nation, doubtlessly complicating efforts to finish TPS for an ally of the U.S. Trump has had heat relations with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, who labored carefully with him on stopping unlawful immigration to the U.S. Remittances quantity to about $7.5 billion a 12 months.

Bukele is immensely widespread, largely as a result of his heavy-handed safety efforts have eviscerated the nation’s road gangs.

In March 2022, El Salvador’s gangs killed 62 individuals in hours, prompting its congress to permit a “state of exception” for Bukele to crack down, suspending some constitutional rights and granting extra police powers. Greater than 83,000 individuals have been arrested since, most jailed with out due course of.

El Salvador ended 2024 with a report low 114 homicides. In 2015, El Salvador had 6,656 homicides, making it one of many world’s deadliest nations.

For José Palma, a 48 year-old Salvadoran who has lived within the U.S. since 1998, the extension means he can nonetheless work legally in Houston. He’s the one in his household with short-term standing; his 4 youngsters have been born U.S. residents and his spouse is a everlasting resident. If TPS was not prolonged he may very well be deported and separated from the remainder of the household.

“It brings me peace of mind, a breath of fresh air. That’s 18 more months of being protected,” Palma mentioned. “It offers me stability”.

Palma, who works as an organizer at a day laborer group, sends about $400 a month to his 73-year-old mom, who’s retired and doesn’t have any revenue.
