the Federal Government).

Beneficiaries of Temporary Protected
Status Designations for Sudan,
Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador
U.S. Citizenship and

Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

Through this Notice, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) announces actions to ensure its
compliance with the preliminary
injunction order of the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of
California in Ramos v. Nielsen, No. 18–
cv–01554 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 3, 2018)
(‘‘preliminary injunction’’).
Beneficiaries under the Temporary
Protected Status (TPS) designations for
Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and El
Salvador will retain their TPS while the
preliminary injunction remains in
effect, provided that an individual’s TPS
status is not withdrawn under INA
section 244(c)(3) or 8 CFR 244.14
because of ineligibility.
DHS is further announcing it is
automatically extending through April
2, 2019, the validity of TPS-related
Employment Authorization Documents
(EADs), Forms I–797, Notice of Action
(Approval Notice), and Forms I–94
(Arrival/Departure Record) (collectively
‘‘TPS-Related Documentation’’), as
specified in this Notice, for beneficiaries
under the TPS designations for Sudan
and Nicaragua, provided that the
affected TPS beneficiaries remain
otherwise individually eligible for TPS.

also provides information explaining
DHS’s plans to issue a subsequent
notice that will describe the steps DHS
will take after April 2, 2019 to continue
its compliance with the preliminary
injunction.
The TPS designations of Sudan,
Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador will
remain in effect, as required by the
preliminary injunction order of the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District
of California in Ramos v. Nielsen, No.
18–cv–01554 (N.D. Cal. Oct. 3, 2018), so
long as the preliminary injunction
remains in effect. TPS for those
countries will not be terminated unless
and until any superseding, final, nonappealable judicial order permits the
implementation of such terminations.
Information on the status of the
preliminary injunction will be available
at http://uscis.gov/tps.
Further, DHS is automatically
extending the validity of TPS-Related
Documentation for those beneficiaries
under the TPS designations for Sudan
and Nicaragua, as specified in this
Notice. Those documents will remain in
effect for six months from the issuance
of the preliminary injunction (which
occurred on October 3, 2018), through
April 2, 2019, provided the individual’s
TPS is not withdrawn under INA
section 244(c)(3) or 8 CFR 244.14
because of ineligibility.
In the event the preliminary
injunction is reversed and that reversal
becomes final, DHS will allow for an
orderly transition period, as described
in the ‘‘Possible Future Action’’ section
of this Notice.

Background on Temporary Protected
Status (TPS)
• TPS is a temporary immigration
status granted to eligible nationals of a
country designated for TPS under the
INA, or to eligible persons without
nationality who last habitually resided
in the designated country.
• During the TPS designation period,
TPS beneficiaries are eligible to remain
in the United States, may not be
removed, and are authorized to obtain
EADs so long as they continue to meet
the requirements of TPS.
• TPS beneficiaries may also apply
for and be granted travel authorization
as a matter of discretion.
• The granting of TPS does not result
in or lead to lawful permanent resident
status.
• To qualify for TPS, beneficiaries
must meet the eligibility standards at
INA section 244(c)(1)–(2), 8 U.S.C.
1254a(c)(1)–(2).
• When the Secretary terminates a
country’s TPS designation, beneficiaries
return to one of the following:
Æ The same immigration status or
category that they maintained before
TPS, if any (unless that status or
category has since expired or been
terminated); or
