DHS Extends Deportation Protections to Nationals From 4 Countries

Those countries include Ukraine, Sudan, El Salvador, and Venezuela, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has extended protections from deportation to individuals, including those who entered the country illegally, from Ukraine, Sudan, El Salvador, and Venezuela, with just 10 days to go before the Trump administration takes office.

DHS said on Friday that it would extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) orders to nationals from those countries because their governments would not be able to accept them if they were deported by the United States.

It means that about 600,000 Venezuelans, more than 230,000 Salvadorans, more than 103,000 Ukrainians, and 1,900 Sudanese already living in the United States can legally remain for another 18 months.

The TPS designation allows those individuals to be in the country but doesnโ€™t provide them with a long-term path to citizenship. They are reliant on the government renewing their status when it expires. Critics have said that over time, the renewal of the protection status becomes automatic, regardless of what is happening in the personโ€™s home country.

DHS said that its announcement regarding Venezuelan nationals is because of โ€œextraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent eligible Venezuelan nationals from safely returningโ€ to the country due to a โ€œsevere humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crisesโ€ under President Nicolas Maduroโ€™s regime.

โ€œThese conditions have contributed to high levels of crime and violence, impacting access to food, medicine, healthcare, water, electricity, and fuel,โ€ the agency said.

Regarding El Salvador, meanwhile, DHS said that โ€œenvironmental disastersโ€ have brought about a temporary disruption of living conditions in the country and that the TPS was issued due to โ€œgeological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfallโ€ last year and in 2023 as well as an earthquake that hit more than 20 years ago.

Sudanese nationals in the TPS program will receive an extension because of โ€œcontinued political instability that has triggered human rights abusesโ€ caused by militia groups in recent years, the agency said.

Ukrainian nationals received a TPS extension in light of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, which erupted in February 2022.
