The Trump administration will allow an estimated 300,000 people from six countries illegally present in the U.S. to be protected from deportation for an additional 18 months, despite President Trump’s previous pledges to end protections for those from some of the countries.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, announced Friday it will continue protections under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for people from El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan through Jan. 4, 2021. USCIS will publish a 27-page notice in the Federal Register detailing the plan on Monday.
The move comes weeks after a federal judge ordered a temporary stop to the winding down of the six programs.
