The US Department of Homeland Security delayed announcing the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status for approximately 150,000 Salvadorans, maintaining their work authorization and legal protections indefinitely pending further official notification, leaving vulnerable immigrant communities in continued uncertainty.

Over 170,000 Salvadorans face losing Temporary Protected Status expiring September 9, contributing $5.4 billion annually to the U.S. economy, while a Haitian TPS recipient died by suicide amid deportation fears and a federal judge blocked Trump's citizenship birthright restrictions.
