https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status
As of March 31, 2025, approximately 1,297,635 individuals from 17 designated countries were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States. The largest groups of TPS holders are from Venezuela (605,015), Haiti (330,735), El Salvador (170,125), and Ukraine (101,150). Other designated countries include Honduras, Afghanistan, Nepal, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Syria, Burma, Nicaragua, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan, and Lebanon.
Geographically, TPS holders are distributed across the U.S., with the highest concentrations in Florida (403,965), Texas (147,080), New York (98,250), and California (79,320). The status provides beneficiaries with protection from deportation, eligibility for employment authorization, and the ability to apply for travel permits.
Recent developments include the termination of TPS for Venezuela under its 2023 designation, although legal challenges have resulted in continued protections for some recipients pending litigation, with work authorization maintained until October 2, 2026 for those who received an Employment Authorization Document on or before February 5, 2025. Similarly, Haiti’s TPS designation has faced termination attempts, but court orders have extended protections until February 3, 2026.
The Trump administration has announced terminations or intentions to terminate TPS for over one million individuals, including large populations from Venezuela, Haiti, and Honduras
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has the authority to designate, extend, or terminate TPS for specific countries, and recent designations have included nations such as Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cameroon, and Ethiopia, though some designations have been rescinded or challenged under various administrations
