Until further notice, the U.S. postpones the repeal of TPS, which benefits some 170,000 Salvadorans.

The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced the indefinite postponement of the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 170,000 Salvadoran nationals. The policy, which was previously scheduled to expire on September 9, 2026, will remain in effect until further notice, allowing beneficiaries to continue living and working in the country.

This decision maintains the legal protections currently afforded to the Salvadoran community under the program. By extending the status beyond the established expiration date, federal authorities have effectively suspended the planned phase-out of the protections for these individuals.
