政治 · Temporary protected statusDHS Keeps Ukraine and Sudan TPS Protection in Place Without a New End Date文字 2026年10月19日 上午3:34 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:07More than 100,000 immigrants keep their protection from deportation.0:11Homeland Security says Ukrainian and Sudanese temporary protected status holders0:15retain protection while it decides both programs' futures.0:19Their existing designation periods were scheduled to end October 19th, leaving0:23workers and employers needing clarity about their paperwork.0:26How long will protection last?0:28And how will workers prove their continued right to work?0:30Homeland Security said Sunday that beneficiaries would retain protection until0:34decisions are announced.0:36It said final decisions would be made at the appropriate time.0:39The department hasn't announced a termination decision for either country or given0:43this continuation a fixed end date.0:45Congress created TPS in 1990 for eligible people whose countries face conditions0:50that make returning unsafe.0:52Armed conflict, disasters, and other extraordinary conditions can qualify.0:56It protects beneficiaries living in the United States and authorizes them to work.1:00Eligibility can include people who arrived with lawful status and people who arrived1:05without it.1:06Eligible stateless people who last habitually lived in a designated country can1:10qualify too.1:11Ukraine's protection first took effect in April 2022, after Russia's full-scale1:16invasion.1:17An extension and re-designation followed for October 2023 through April 2025.1:21Sudan's program dates to November 1997, when armed conflict and extraordinary1:27conditions made return unsafe.1:29Reported DHS estimates put the groups at about 103,700 Ukrainians and 1,9001:34Sudanese.1:35Those aren't confirmed October counts.1:37The March 2025 baseline was more than 100,000 Ukrainians and roughly 1,800 Sudanese.1:43The different figures don't demonstrate an enrollment trend.1:45The administration has already ended TPS protections for more than 1 million1:49immigrants from over a dozen countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti, and Venezuela.1:53Officials argue the temporary program has been extended too often and encourages1:57illegal immigration.1:58El Salvador's beneficiaries also kept protection pending a final announcement after2:02their program approached its end point last month.2:04Beneficiaries had to re-register January 17th through March 18th, 2025.2:09Both 18-month designation extensions began April 20, 2025.2:13Certain older cards were automatically extended through April 19th, 2026.2:18The scheduled designation endpoint and later documentation instructions reached2:21October 19th, 2026.2:23That past 60-day re-registration window was a requirement for beneficiaries.2:27The government has a separate deadline to review country conditions.2:30People still had to meet eligibility requirements, and improper re-registration2:34could lead to withdrawal of their individual protection after the required2:37procedures.2:38A worker can keep legal protection while still needing usable proof for an employer.2:42TPS carries protection against removal and authorization to work throughout the2:46protected period.2:47The employment authorization card is evidence of that right, with its own2:50documentation rules.2:51The January notices offered eligible people who re-registered and applied new cards2:56valid through October 19th, 2026.2:59They also recognized that processing delays could leave people waiting for3:03replacements after older cards expired.3:06The earlier automatic extensions covered specified cards in the A12 and C193:10categories.3:11Ukraine's qualifying printed dates were April 2025 and October 2023.3:16Sudan's list covered nine dates from 2017 through 2025.3:20Those extensions ended April 19th, 2026.3:23People whose covered TPS or related work card applications were already pending on3:27January 17th, 2025 didn't have to file them again.3:31Approval would provide protection or a card through October 19, 2026, as applicable.3:36Ukraine's later instructions allowed a qualifying card expiring on or after April3:4020, 2026 and before October 19th, 2026, together with its extension notice.3:46That combination proved identity and continued work authorization through October3:5019th, 2026.3:52Employers were told to use that October endpoint in the Employment Verification3:55Form's expiration fields, add an explanatory note, and use the same date in4:00e-Verify.4:01They could attach the guidance and extension notice to the form.4:04Sudan's August guidance also extended certain expired cards through October 19th.4:09Recipients had to remain eligible Still have a pending TPS-based work card4:14application and be waiting for their renewal card.4:16Those instructions gave covered workers a specific way to document authorization.4:21Separate renewal filing rules distinguish eligible applications filed before October4:2530, 2025, from later filings.4:28The applicable extension depends on the workers' filing and documents.4:32Employers still need updated instructions connecting the government's continuing4:35protection assurance to documentation after October 19th.4:39Advocates argue the government missed an August 20 review deadline, triggering six4:42more months of protection on August 21st.4:45Their calculation runs through April 19th, 2027.4:48Homeland Security hasn't confirmed that duration or endpoint, and implementation4:52guidance hasn't followed.4:53The department's assurance keeps enrolled beneficiaries protected while final4:56decisions are pending.4:58The practical uncertainty concerns how employers and immigration officers will carry5:01that assurance out.5:02A worker needs usable documents to keep earning a paycheck, as well as protection5:06against removal.5:07Senator Richard Blumenthal introduced a longer-term Ukrainian TPS bill on September5:1223rd.5:13Fellow Democrat Chris Koons and Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Bill Cassidy joined5:18as original co-sponsors.5:19The Senate referred it to the Judiciary Committee that day.5:22It hasn't become law.5:23The proposal would designate Ukraine for protection from October 20, 2026 through5:29July 1st, 2029.5:31A separate September 22 appeal asked the administration for an 18-month extension5:35and redesignation.5:37The bill sets its own longer period and leaves Sudan's decision with Homeland5:41Security.5:42The bill would require decisions on covered protection and work authorization5:46applications within 90 days of receipt.5:48Eligible Ukrainian nationals and eligible stateless former residents would have to5:52maintain continuous residence and physical presence from enactment, meet admission5:56and TPS eligibility rules, and register.5:58If enacted after October 20th, the bill would apply retroactively to that date and6:03shield otherwise eligible people from accumulating unlawful presence.6:07It would also require advanced travel permission for protected people who6:11demonstrate emergency and extenuating circumstances beyond their control requiring a6:15brief trip abroad.6:16Their return would follow normal TPS travel rules.6:19TPS itself provides temporary protection.6:22It doesn't guarantee permanent residence.6:24If a designation eventually ends, beneficiaries return to a still valid status they6:29held before TPS or another still valid status obtained during it, if they have one.6:34For now, eligible Ukrainian and Sudanese beneficiaries keep protection, and work6:38authorization continues throughout TPS.6:40The government still needs to explain how workers should document that continuity6:44after the existing paperwork endpoint.6:46Homeland Security hasn't announced when it will decide either program's future.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片
