DHS to end protections for some Salvadoran immigrants

The Trump administration announced Monday that it is ending protected status for El Salvador with an 18-month delay — the latest in a string of legal immigration programs that have been discontinued over the past year.
The approximately 262,000 Salvadorans that currently have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will have until Sept. 9, 2019 to either change their immigration status, leave the U.S. or face potential deportation.
There are 10 countries with a protected status designation - South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Syria, Haiti, Nepal and Yemen.
Just before Thanksgiving, the administration announced that the status for approximately 59,000 Haitians would end on July 22, 2019. Status for Sudan will end in November and Nicaragua with 2,500 beneficiaries will end in January of next year.
