f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p>On June 24, 2019, nearly 9,000 U.S. residents with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from Nepal will be losing their TPS status. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2018\/05\/22\/2018-10868\/termination-of-the-designation-of-nepal-for-temporary-protected-status\">The Secretary of Homeland Security decided to terminate<\/a> the status on the grounds that the initial conditions (environmental disaster) for which TPS was granted, are no longer met. Ironically, just this year on January 8, 2019, the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/nepal-travel-advisory.html\">U.S. Department of State issued a travel advisory<\/a> for Nepal, warning individuals to practice extreme caution due to political violence. But what are the effects of this sudden termination for TPS recipients, their families, and the communities they have long been a part of? Particularly, when some of these countries like <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/nepal-travel-advisory.html\">Nepal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/el-salvador-travel-advisory.html\">El Salvador<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/haiti-travel-advisory.html\">Haiti<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/honduras-travel-advisory.html\">Honduras<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/nicaragua-travel-advisory.html\">Nicaragua<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/sudan-travel-advisory.html\">Sudan<\/a> might not be considered safe? This essay aims to provide important information on TPS, including its history, the status quo, the most recent estimates of recipients across the United States, and the social impact that TPS has for individuals and immigrant communities.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/temporary-protected-status\/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-sierra-leone\">10 countries with TPS designations<\/a> are El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/research\/immigration-act-1990-still-unfinished-business-quarter-century-later\">Under the Immigration Act of 1990<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/temporary-protected-status\">Secretary of Homeland Security can designate a country for TPS due to ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions<\/a> that prevent nationals from safely returning to their home country. Individuals who are granted TPS are permitted to legally reside in the United States, obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work legally, and can be granted a travel authorization (Advanced Parole). Far from permanent, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org\/research\/temporary-protected-status-overview\">TPS can only be granted for 6, 12, or 18 months at a time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While numerous TPS designations have been targeted for termination recently, ending TPS is not new. In the past, TPS has been granted to 12 other countries for which it has since expired. Figure 1 below lists these countries, their designation date, and expiration date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Figure 1.

Yet, the case of Liberia is unique in that qualified nationals were also granted Deferred Enforced Departure (DED). Under DED, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/temporary-protected-status\/deferred-enforced-departure\">recipients are protected from deportation, can obtain an EAD to work legally, and can be granted a travel authorization<\/a> (Advanced Parole).\u00a0 Under the president\u2019s discretion DED is issued but DHS establishes the requirements. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/eoir\/temporary-protected-status\">TPS for Liberia was issued in 1991, DED was later issued in 2000<\/a>.

For example, around 42 percent of Haitians in this legal status limbo have TPS as well as about 31 percent of Salvadorans and 16 percent of Hondurans. And while it might be easy to think of the uncertainty around TPS as affecting only individuals with TPS, the requirements necessitate many beneficiaries to be long-settled and thus highly likely to be integrated into families and communities.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate this, Figure 4 breaks down the total TPS population, the number of TPS households, the total population living in TPS households, and the total number of U.S. Citizens in TPS households. As seen below, it is estimated that there are over 220,000 TPS households and approximately 44% of the population in these households are U.S. Citizens. The truly startling number: nearly one million people have TPS themselves or live in a household with a family member who is a beneficiary of TPS. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanprogress.org\/issues\/early-childhood\/reports\/2017\/07\/31\/436377\/trumps-immigration-policies-harming-american-children\/\">Terminating TPS would disrupt families<\/a>, potentially forcing family members to separate or relocate to a country foreign to them.

TPS allows individuals <a href=\"http:\/\/ipsr.ku.edu\/migration\/pdf\/TPS_Report.pdf\">to obtain better paying jobs, access driver\u2019s licenses, and participate in society\u2019s institutions and civic organizations<\/a>. However, this \u201climinal legality\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/escholarship.org\/content\/qt6n59p5zc\/qt6n59p5zc.pdf\">creates a sense of blocked mobility when accessing resources or employment opportunities<\/a>. For instance, not all employers recognize EAD as a legal work authorization. Moreover, <a href=\"https:\/\/escholarship.org\/content\/qt6n59p5zc\/qt6n59p5zc.pdf\">the lack of consistency with the renewal process, including the anticipation of re-approval and reregistration that varies by country<\/a>, fuels a permanent fear of deportation.<\/p>\n<p>Although TPS and DED may have once been a suitable solution, these statuses have turned into indefinite cycles of uncertainty. Year after year, organizations like the <a href=\"http:\/\/africancoalition.org\/2018\/02\/02\/the-african-coalition-continues-advocating-for-tps-holder-communities\/201802\/\">African Communities Public Health Coalition<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adhikaar.org\/2016\/10\/26\/immigrant-advocates-and-nepali-groups-applaud-extension-of-temporary-protected-status-for-nepal\/\">Adhikaar,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/haitiadvocacy.org\/\">Haiti Advocacy Working Group<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/carecendc.org\/\">CARECEN<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaltpsalliance.org\/\">the National TPS Alliance<\/a> have advocated for TPS extensions for most of these countries. However, some of these extensions eventually terminated. We can no longer ignore how such \u201climinal legality\u201d has only been a Band-Aid approach to a problem that needs a comprehensive and institutionalized solution. As looming expiration dates for certain countries quickly approach, it is time to strategize and rethink a more permanent and sustainable policy solution for an impending scenario that would impact nearly one million people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/07\/CSII_TPS_Methodology_02.pdf\">Download the detailed methodology (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <hr \/>\n<p><strong>About the authors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the blog post authors on the <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/staff-directory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">staff page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/about\/dalia-gonzalez\/\">Dalia Gonzalez<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/about\/post-doctoral-fellows-and-activists-in-residence\/\">Thai Le<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/manuel-pastor\/\">Manuel Pastor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n  \n        \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--article-related-stories \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--article-related-stories\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n  <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Explore other articles\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n    \n                  <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/2026\/03\/04\/case-for-continuity-disability-support-services\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >The Case for Continuity: Geographic Fragmentation in Publicly Funded Disability Support Services<\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/article>\n              <article>\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--cta-title\">\n\n    \n  <h3>\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/eri\/2026\/02\/19\/celebrating-solidarity-weaving-together-struggles-for-justice\/\" \n                        class=\"\" \n      >Watch Recording Now &#8211;
