Attention! TPS is Ending for Thousands of Families: Key Dates and What You Must Do If You Have Citizen Children

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is ending for thousands of families from Haiti, Syria, Honduras, and El Salvador, bringing rapid changes and a critical deadline this Monday for Haiti and Syria. While thousands of Hondurans are already at risk of deportation following a court decision, Salvadoran protections are set to expire on September 9. Parents with U.S. citizen children face difficult choices if detained, as Congress has blocked efforts to extend protections. Experts urge families to remain calm but to prepare immediate emergency plans, particularly regarding childcare, and to seek legal counsel to explore other pathways to status before deadlines expire.
