VOICED : EEUU revoca proteccion temporaria para unos 200.000 salvadorenos

The United States has ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 200,000 Salvadorans, giving them 18 months to adjust their immigration status or leave the country. Originally granted after the 2001 earthquake, the US now believes conditions in El Salvador have improved enough for their return. This decision creates uncertainty for many families, especially those with children born in the US. Concerns include safety in El Salvador and the welfare of children left behind. The Salvadoran government expressed gratitude for the extension until September next year, focusing on the additional time rather than the threat of deportation. Currently, over 195,000 Salvadorans are under TPS protection.
