This post serves as a regularly updated resource to keep employers informed regarding TPS designations, extensions, cancellations, and other policy changes.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determined that the country conditions in Ethiopia no longer merit Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States and that designation will not be renewed. The program will expire on February 13, 2026.  Ethiopian citizens holding TPS will revert to the status they held prior to their grant of TPS status, unless they have acquired another immigration status allowing them to lawfully remain in the United States. 

Our previous discussions about TPS can be found in our July 9, 2025 update.
