The United States continues protection for Ukrainian refugees: new opportunities and continuation of the Provisional Protection Program.
US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden has announced the continuation of the Temporary Protection Program (TPS) for refugees from Ukraine and several other countries, including Venezuela and Sudan. This step will allow more than 100,000 Ukrainians to stay in the United States until October 19, 2026 with the right to work and protection against deportation.
The TPS program, which was launched in 1990, provides temporary protection of foreigners who cannot safely return to their countries through wars, natural disasters, or unstable political situation. This gives refugees the opportunity to live and work in the United States without worrying about a possible violent return to their homeland.
The US Government notes that the decision to continue the program for another 18 months gives a new hope and stability for those who were forced to flee from war and other crises. Continued protection for Refugees from Venezuela and other crisis regions is also an important step in maintaining global humanitarian safety.
The TPS program is an important element of US immigration policy because it provides temporary protection for persons who could otherwise be victims of violence or political repression in their countries. With the continuation of this program, Ukrainian refugees get more opportunities to integrate into American society, protecting themselves from deportation.
