Special protections extended for immigrants amid federal lawsuit
November 17, 2022
Through June 2024, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will continue. This announcement will protect over 335,000 immigrants from deportation. TPS protects immigrants who are unable to return to their home countries due to a humanitarian crisis such as an armed conflict or a natural disaster. Many TPS recipients have lived in the U.S. for years due to multiple extensions of the protections for certain counties. TPS does not provide a direct pathway to U.S. citizenship.
