Trump administration delays decision on Ukrainian and Sudanese deportation protections

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on October 18 that around 101,000 Ukrainians and 1,800 Sudanese nationals will keep their Temporary Protected Status. Their protections were due to end the following day. The programme lets people from dangerous countries live and work legally in the United States. Ukraine is currently under Russian invasion, and Sudan is experiencing a civil war. The government gave no date for when a final decision will come. The Trump administration had previously tried to end these protections. Last month, more than 170,000 Salvadorans received a similar temporary reprieve, also without a clear end date. The affected people can continue working and living in the country, but their long-term situation remains uncertain.
