Are you looking for the latest news about immigration protections in the United States? A Roseville Immigration Attorney may be able to help.

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that temporary protections for immigrants from six countries will be extended, shielding them from possible deportation.

Temporary immigration protections for people originally from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Honduras, Nepal and Sudan have been extended to Jan. 2021.


The department's action come as part of their continuous effort to comply with a temporary court order in ongoing lawsuits filed to stop President Donald Trump and his administration from both terminating protections from deportation and work permits for immigrants from countries that were granted Temporary Protected Status.

TPS grants temporary legal status to immigrants from certain countries fleeing natural disasters and civil wars. For almost 20 years, previous administrations from both parties have renewed the TPS status of tens of thousands of people, but the Trump administration said it wants to end the program for a majority of recipients.

"It's good news. It's an extension of our previous victories," Jessica Karp Bansal, senior staff attorney with the ACLU of Southern California told NBC News. She's the attorney for plaintiffs in two different lawsuits filed over the last two years to block the Trump administration from ending TPS.

In October 2018, TPS holders from Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador won a preliminary injunction, requiring the Trump administration to extend their immigration protections and work authorizations while the case is ongoing.

Seven months ago, a district court judge temporarily stopped the government from ending immigration protections to people from Nepal and Honduras.
