At a Glance
- The Trump administration continues to move forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations, in line with its stated immigration agenda. Out of 17 countries under active TPS designations at the beginning of this year, 11 have now seen protected status terminated.
- The termination of a country’s TPS designation ends its nationals’ protection from removal and the ability to extend work authorization.
- While the fate of the other countries that are still under active TPS designation remains uncertain, employers should be prepared for similar terminations in 2026, based on the administration’s agenda to examine and amend humanitarian immigration programs thus far.
