Salvadorans are just the latest group whose TPS designation is on the chopping block.
Last month, it was announced that in July 2019 TPS will end for more than 50,000 Haitians who sought refuge in the United States after a catastrophic earthquake hit that country in 2010.
If you are seeking temporary protected status in the US or if you are concerned that your temporary protected status will end, you should make an appointment with your attorney to discuss your options.
