Just as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was set to expire yesterday for Ukrainians and Sudanese nationals, DHS announced that while a formal decision on these programs will be announced in due course, for now, TPS protections and work authorization remain in effect. 

On October 3, 2018, California U.S. District Judge Edward Chen granted a preliminary injunction in the case of Ramos v. Nielsen, preventing the Department of Homeland Security from terminating Temporary Protected Status for El Salvador (scheduled to end on 9/9/19), Haiti (7/22/19), Nicaragua (1/5/19), and Sudan (11/2/18).  The injunction remains in place until the Court lifts it or the lawsuit ends.
