On March 1, 2019, the Department of Homeland Security
("DHS") announced that it would continue to preserve
the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Sudan,
Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador. As we have
previously written, to comply with the federal court order in
Ramos et al. v. Nielsen et al, DHS's Federal Register
Notice ("Notice") yet again protects the TPS designation
for each country and provides automatic extensions to existing work
authorization documents. TPS and related documentation for
Nicaragua, Sudan, Haiti, and El Salvador are now automatically
extended through January 2, 2020.
Warning folks, this is a dense read, with complicated directions
for those people in your organization that deal with the day to day
of Form I-9s. If that's not you, pass this blog post on to the
right person, and move on with your day.
