Temporary Protected Status (TPS) lets people from countries in crisis stay in the U.S. and work, shielded from deportation. DHS said Ukrainian and Sudanese holders keep it past the expiration, with final decisions coming 'at the appropriate time' and no date set. The reprieve covers more than 100,000 Ukrainians and about 1,800 Sudanese enrolled as of March 2025.
