Trump Administration Silence Has 200,000 Salvadoran Immigrants Hoping They're Protected
The delay leaves about 200,000 Salvadorans in the U.S. in limbo as Homeland Security says it will announce a decision later.
- The Sept. 9 deadline for the Trump administration to decide on TPS for about 200,000 Salvadorans passed Wednesday without a public announcement, leaving protections in effect pending further word.
- Homeland Security issued a statement Thursday promising an announcement "at an appropriate time," while immigration law automatically extends TPS for six months if the government takes no action.
- Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan said Tuesday the decision rests with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, arguing that "temporary protected status means temporary" and El Salvador is "a much safer country than it's ever been."
- While Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele supports deportation efforts, mass returns could shock his country's economy; Salvadorans sent home $9.9 billion last year, representing 24% of El Salvador's gross domestic product.
- The Trump administration has ended TPS for more than 1 million people from over a dozen countries in its second term. Ben Johnson, director of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said the government is leaving families in limbo.
