Thrust Trump has paused Temporary Status for Ukrainians, and there is no process for renewal.
As a result, these folks will have to leave the US.
I am in DFW area.
Hanna Chekodanova is an artist. Many of her paintings are currently on display at Dallas City Hall. She came to the US two years ago under the Biden "Uniting For Ukraine" program. She has given birth to a child who is now a US citizen.
Unable to extend her stay, she must leave the US by the end of August.
While most of what we see daily, are the 'Trump's Brown Shirts w/Masks ICE' sweeping up people off the streets, or in farming fields, the deportations due to revoking Temporary Status, flies under the radar, unless there is a local story of one such as Hanna.
Trump has ended TS for those who came from Afghanistan, and fought beside our troops, or were interpreters.
In 2025, the Trump administration has taken steps to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for several countries, according to news reports and legal analyses:
Venezuela: The Trump administration ended TPS protections for Venezuelans, though this decision has faced legal challenges and a Supreme Court ruling in May 2025 upheld the administration's decision, affecting approximately 350,000 Venezuelans. Another group of roughly 250,000 Venezuelans currently have TPS expiring in September.
Afghanistan: TPS for Afghanistan was terminated in May 2025 and went into effect in July 2025, affecting over 9,000 people, according to the International Rescue Committee.
Cameroon: The administration also ended TPS protections for Cameroon in June 2025, affecting over 7,000 people.
Nepal: TPS for Nepal was terminated in June 2025.
Haiti: The administration announced the termination of TPS for Haiti in June 2025 with an effective date in September, potentially impacting up to 500,000 Haitians. However, a federal judge blocked the early termination of TPS for Haiti in July 2025, according to the International Rescue Committee.
Honduras and Nicaragua: In July 2025, the administration announced the termination of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, effective in September. This affects roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans. The terminations were made despite the fact that these countries received TPS designations in 1999 following the devastating effects of Hurricane Mitch.
It is important to note that some of these terminations, including for Haiti, have faced legal challenges, and the final outcomes may be subject to ongoing litigation.
