Trump Administration Plans to End Temporary Protected Status for Over 1 Million Migrants
President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance's proposed immigration policies threaten the legal status of migrants from 17 countries.
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows migrants from countries deemed unsafe to live and work legally in the U.S.
- More than 1 million migrants, including Venezuelans, Haitians, and Salvadorans, currently benefit from TPS.
- Trump and Vance have pledged to end TPS and humanitarian parole, citing unfounded claims about TPS holders.
- The potential policy shift has raised concerns about the safety and future of migrants facing deportation.
- Legal challenges are anticipated if the Trump administration attempts to terminate TPS designations prematurely.
