TPS at risk – Call your representative
THE WASHINGTON POST reports:
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mainly from Central America, are at risk of losing their work permits after negotiations with the Biden administration to extend them broke down this week, advocates said Wednesday.
“>More than 300,000 immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal are seeking in federal court to extend their “temporary protected status,” or TPS, which most have held for decades. Immigrants’ lawyers and the Biden administration had been negotiating over the families’ status since June 2021, but talks collapsed Tuesday and lawyers said they are returning to court.
TPS ALLIANCE is asking our support to put pressure on Congresspeople. Use the following link to ask them to protect all these people:
WHY DOES TPS MATTER?
TPS is important for several migrants. It allows them to live legally in the U.S. They can have a driver license, travel outside (and visit their families), have access to a job (with rights and even at federal level), housing, medicare, and others.
It was expected that TPS was going to be extended for 18 months while the Democrats were in congress.
Show your solidarity and support the struggle of all these people before the midterm elections!
