Religious groups ask for extension of Salvadoran temporary protected status
Advocates and lawmakers are urging a six-month extension as more than 170,000 Salvadorans could lose work authorization and deportation protection.
- Nearly 200,000 Salvadoran immigrants face the potential expiration of their Temporary Protected Status this week, yet the Department of Homeland Security has failed to publish the mandatory 60-day Federal Register termination notice.
- Federal statute mandated that Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announce a decision by July 11, 2026; missing that deadline may trigger an automatic six-month extension under TPS law, according to immigration attorneys.
- Doris Landaverde of the Massachusetts TPS Committee expressed deep anxiety about potential deportation and family separation, saying "For years, I felt protected here," even as many Salvadoran TPS holders have built families and careers in the United States over two decades.
- On Tuesday, Governor Maura Healey wrote to Secretary Markwayne Mullin urging reconsideration, warning of "far-reaching consequences for Massachusetts' workforce and economy." Virginia Congressman Eugene Vindman introduced legislation seeking an 18-month extension.
- Legal experts note the lack of formal termination notice creates significant uncertainty for beneficiaries, even as the Trump administration continues broader efforts to carry out mass deportations and end TPS protections for multiple countries.
