The Trump administration extends work permits for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who hold Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from Haiti and six other countries, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The extensions are issued hours before the existing permits were set to expire. USCIS, part of the Department of Homeland Security, says work permits for Haitians with TPS will now expire on July 24. For TPS recipients from Ethiopia, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, South Sudan and Myanmar, the updated permits are set to end about a week later, on the same date the previous permits were approaching. The measure applies across multiple TPS groups covered by the announcement, providing additional time for those individuals to remain eligible to work in the United States while they hold current TPS documentation. The reporting also indicates the change is being implemented to prevent an immediate lapse tied to the original expiration schedule.
