From the best-selling book by former United States Immigration Judge (IJ) Charles Jerome Ware, titled :
THE IMMIGRATION PARADOX : 15 TIPS FOR WINNING IMMIGRATION CASES
CHAPTER 11 : A PRIMER ON " TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS" (TPS)
December 2017/January 2018 :
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared his intentions to immediately revoke (or has already revoked) the temporary protected status (TPS) of 60,000 Haitian immigrants and 200,000 Salvadoran immigrants, as well as 2,500 Nicaraguan migrants. This means these immigrants must either leave voluntarily by certain deadlines to be determined, or be deported. A six-month TPS extension was allegedly recently granted to 57,000 Hondurans.
Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, is a temporary immigration status granted to certain eligible aliens who are nationals or citizens of certain designated countries who cannot return home because of a crisis in their home country (or parts thereof) that is recognized as such by section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); Immigration Act of 1990 ("IMMACT"), P.L. 101-649, et al.
TPS was established by Congress in the Immigration Act of 1990. It is a humanitarian program whose basic principle is that the United States should suspend deportations to countries that have been destabilized by war or catastrophe. Under current law, the secretary of homeland security can extend TPS protections as a result of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or "other extraordinary and temporary conditions" [USCIS]. Foreign nationals with TPS protections are generally able to obtain work authorization and a driver's license, but the TPS designation is subject to U. S. government review and can only be extended for up to 18 months. Salvadorans are by far the largest group of TPS holders.
