Temporary protections for about 200,000 Salvadoran immigrants are in limbo as deadline nears

About 200,000 immigrants from El Salvador have temporary legal protections that allow them to stay in the U.S. and work. These protections were set to expire, and the Trump administration had to decide whether to end them. The administration has already ended similar protections for immigrants from other countries like Venezuela and Haiti. The status of the Salvadoran protections remains unresolved as the deadline passes.
