Video: DHS Says Ukrainians Retain Protection Pending TPS Decision
TPS Status Has Expired
Temporary protected status for thousands of Ukrainians has ended. Despite that expiration, DHS says they can stay in the United States for now. The department’s statement does not resolve their long-term status. Ukrainians covered by the protection remain awaiting a decision on TPS.
A Student Faces Uncertainty
Mariia Hlyten, a Ukrainian student, discussed her unclear future in the United States. Her account reflects the uncertainty facing Ukrainians affected by the status change. The available information does not describe when a decision will come or what it will say. For now, DHS says those Ukrainians may remain in the country.
Decision Still Pending
The central issue is whether temporary protected status will continue for the affected Ukrainians. Until that determination is made, DHS says they can stay for the time being.
The status has expired, while permission to remain for now continues, according to DHS. The next decision will determine what happens after this temporary arrangement.
