In more news on immigration, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen faces a deadline today to decide whether to extend the temporary protected status for more than 250,000 Salvadoran immigrants who have lived in the United States for nearly two decades. The program, known as TPS, protects a quarter of a million Salvadoran immigrants who came to the United States before 2001, when a devastating earthquake destroyed parts of El Salvador. The Trump administration has already said it will end temporary protected status for tens of thousands of Haitian, Nicaraguan and Sudanese immigrants living in the United States.
