  1. Update 1

    Ukraine and Sudan TPS Holders Keep Protection, but Paperwork Questions Remain

    More than 100,000 beneficiaries keep protection while DHS weighs both programs’ futures. The unresolved issue is how workers will document their continued right to earn a living.

    Still open after this report

    • The post-October 19 documentation instructions remain unresolved. There is no verified account here of employers collectively refusing documents or ICE adopting a new enforcement practice against these beneficiaries.
