The extension is a result of preliminary injunctions in cases in California and New York. If the injunctions are overturned, TPS will end for all listed countries no earlier than 120 to 365 days after the court decision, depending on the country.

About 265,000 Salvadorans in the U.S. have Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which gives them temporary legal status and the ability to work. Most of them have been in the U.S. for more than 10 years, since Salvadorans were first offered TPS during the Bush administration. In the past few years, the Trump administration has attempted to end TPS for Salvadorans, and is currently litigating the end of TPS. The deal struck on Monday pushes the end date for Salvadoran TPS to January 2, 2021, even if the courts rule in the government’s favor and allow TPS to end.

The Eighth Circuit found that the BIA properly denied the petitioner Temporary Protected Status (TPS) because he was convicted of two misdemeanors, adding that it is irrelevant whether state law classifies crimes as “infractions” or “violations,” so long as punishment imposable under state law meets the definition of misdemeanor.
