The Trump administration will allow more than 250,000 people from El Salvador to remain in the United States under temporary status for at least one more year, the US and El Salvador governments announced Monday.
The move gives the tens of thousands of El Salvadorans who fall under temporary protected status -- a form of humanitarian relief -- some reprieve, although a judge had already blocked the Trump administration's move to terminate the protections. "We are very happy to be able to announce that today in Washington, DC, we signed an agreement that extends TPS for El Salvadorans in the United States for another year," US Ambassador to El Salvador Ronald Johnson said in Spanish.
The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for many of the countries with the protection, including El Salvador, but courts have so far blocked those efforts. Late last year, a federal judge in California granted a preliminary injunction stopping the government from terminating TPS for immigrants from Sudan, El Salvador, Haiti and Nicaragua.
