Countries Designated for TPS

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a U.S. program that allows individuals from certain countries experiencing ongoing crises—like armed conflict, natural disasters, or extraordinary conditions—to live and work in the U.S. temporarily. Countries designated for TPS are typically those where conditions make return unsafe or impractical. The U.S. government reviews these situations regularly and may extend or terminate TPS for each country. Designations are crucial for protecting vulnerable populations from deportation until it is safe for them to return home.
