El Salvador TPS Act of 2026

This legislative proposal, titled the "El Salvador TPS Act of 2026" , requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate El Salvador for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) . This designation would provide a temporary legal status and work authorization for eligible Salvadoran nationals residing in the United States, offering humanitarian relief. The bill explicitly states that this protected status must remain in effect until 18 months after September 9, 2026 , overriding any other conflicting legal provisions. This action aims to ensure that Salvadoran individuals currently in the U.S. can remain and work legally for a specified period.
