"Today's agreement will allow TPS beneficiaries — many of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades and built deep roots in their communities — to once again seek permanent residency and extinguish the threat of deportation if their TPS protections are revoked," said John Lewis of Democracy Forward Foundation, in a statement Tuesday. According to Monday's proposed settlement, the government will publish "do it yourself" packages, including template motions, for pro se individuals wishing to get their deportations dismissed. The government will also make information about pro bono legal resources available.
CARECEN and seven TPS beneficiaries sued the Trump administration in 2020, after then-acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli issued a policy guidance in 2019 that made it functionally impossible for TPS beneficiaries who faced deportation to clear that threat so they could apply for permanent resident status.

TPS is a program that grants temporary work authorization and reprieve from removal to individuals from countries suffering from civil war or natural disasters. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, citizens from Afghanistan, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela and Yemen are eligible for temporary protected status.
