Vilma, the Salvadoran woman with TPS who faces dismissal despite having valid work authorization in the United States

Vilma, a Salvadoran national holding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States, is facing dismissal from her job despite possessing a currently valid work authorization. The situation is not isolated to her; multiple Salvadoran TPS holders report that their employers have instructed them not to return to work.

These employment actions have occurred despite official guidance from the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirming the validity of their work authorization status.
