The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been actively working to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Parole status for several immigrant groups, impacting their work authorization and residency status. This update aims to provide human resource professionals with the latest developments and implications for their workforce. Given the whirlwind of activity, employers must constantly monitor the news and the status of their employees on temporary work authorization so they can be sure to not employ individuals who have lost work authorization.
Venezuela: The situation for Venezuelans under TPS has been complex, in part because there were multiple grants of TPS status to Venezuelan nationals at different times with different expiration dates. On May 19, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily paused a federal court ruling that had blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke TPS for Venezuelans. The current legal status for this group is murky. Venezuelans under the 2021 TPS designation can remain in the U.S. and retain their work authorization until September 10, 2025.
Afghanistan: DHS announced the termination of TPS for Afghanistan, effective July 2025. This decision affects approximately 12,000 Afghans who will lose their protection from deportation and work authorization.
