DHS Extends Work Authorization for Salvadorans with TPS to January 2021

DHS has announced that it is extending the validity of work permits to Salvadorans with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) through January 4, 2021.  In 2018, the Trump Administration announced it was planning to end TPS for Salvadorans, but Federal litigation has thus far stalled its efforts.  On October 28, 2019, DHS announced that it has reached agreements with El Salvador that will allow for more orderly repatriation of its nationals.  TPS for Salvadorans was to expire on January 2, 2020.
