Temporary Protected Status is a program established in the 1990s that allows the government to designate countries unsafe for nationals to return to, granting them work permits and protection from deportation if they are here illegally or if their legal status expires.

The Biden administration designated or re-designated a number of countries for TPS, including Venezuela , Haiti , Afghanistan and others, allowing hundreds of thousands of nationals to remain in the U.S. Republicans have made moves to restrict the program in Congress .
