Para José Palma, un salvadoreño de 48 años que vive en Estados Unidos desde 1998, la extensión significa que al menos por ahora aún puede trabajar legalmente en Houston. Él es el único en su familia con estatus temporal; sus cuatro hijos nacieron ciudadanos estadounidenses y su esposa es residente permanente. Si el TPS no se extendiera, podría ser deportado y separado del resto de la familia.
El anuncio del viernes, que se produjo al tiempo que el presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro asumía un tercer mandato de seis años en Caracas en medio de una amplia condena internacional, se basa en “la grave emergencia humanitaria que el país sigue enfrentando debido a las crisis políticas y económicas bajo el régimen de Maduro”, señaló el departamento.
Alrededor de 1 millón de inmigrantes de 17 países están protegidos por el TPS, incluyendo personas de Venezuela, Haití, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afganistán, Sudán, Ucrania y Líbano. Los venezolanos son uno de los mayores beneficiarios y su extensión va desde abril de 2025 hasta el 2 de octubre de 2026. En los últimos meses, los defensores han aumentado la presión sobre la administración Biden para solicitar extensiones de TPS para aquellos que ya lo tienen, y para proteger a personas de otros países, como Guatemala y Ecuador.
