The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the cancellation of a previous decision by former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuela. Mayorkas' decision, made on January 10, 2025, had extended TPS for Venezuela and simplified the application process for current TPS holders from both the 2021 and 2023 designations, allowing them to keep their status until October 2, 2026. The new DHS decision, effective immediately, nullifies the previous extensions and restores the original expiration dates for the 2021 and 2023 designations. DHS will cease processing any re-registration applications filed under Mayorkas' notice and refund related fees.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has decided to extend the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador for 18 months, starting March 10, 2025, and ending September 9, 2026. This extension allows eligible Salvadorans to stay in the U.S. safely due to ongoing environmental challenges in El Salvador, such as natural disasters and a lack of clean water. Existing TPS beneficiaries must re-register between January 17, 2025, and March 18, 2025, to maintain their status and, if desired, renew their Employment Authorization Documents. DHS has recognized 232,000 Salvadoran beneficiaries eligible for re-registration under this extension.
