President Trump has ordered a review of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations made under the Biden administration. The President has previously stated that he intends to revoke TPS for Haitians and Venezuelans, two of the three largest groups of TPS beneficiaries in the United States. During his first administration, he chose to let TPS designations expire for several countries before being blocked in court. Other humanitarian immigration programs like Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) may be at risk under the new Trump administration. The administration’s actions in choosing to extend or eliminate TPS and DED designations for countries up for expiration in 2025 will inform how the administration will proceed with the humanitarian programs.
