Of course, litigation has followed each notice of termination. However, if the Trump Administration continues to follow the law, these terminations will be upheld because the Secretary of Homeland Security has vast discretion to terminate TPS status and courts do not have authority to review the exercise of that discretion. The following table provides the work authorization expiration dates and TPS status expiration dates. Notably, a person may lose work authorization but still have TPS status. | **Country** | **EAD Auto-Extended Through:** | **Status Designated Through:** | |---|---|---| | Burma (Myanmar)\* | May 25, 2025 | November 25, 2025 | | El Salvador | March 9, 2026 | September 9, 2026 | | Ethiopia\* | June 12, 2025 | December 12, 2025 | | Haiti# | February 3, 2026 | February 3, 2026 | | Lebanon\* | N/A | May 27, 2026 | | Somalia\* | September 17, 2025 | March 17, 2026 | | South Sudan | November 3, 2025 | November 3, 2025 | | Sudan | April 19, 2026 | October 19, 2026 | | Syria\* | March 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | | Ukraine | April 19, 2026 | October 19, 2026 | | Venezuela 2021! | November 7, 2025 (see below) | November 7, 2025 (see below) | | Venezuela 2023^ | April 2, 2026 (see below) | October 2, 2026 (see below) | | Yemen\* | September 3, 2025 | March 3, 2026 | \*Employees from these countries may not have work authorization unless they have completed registration and application requirements by certain deadlines.

The Trump administration is determining next steps. ! The Venezuela 2021 Designation applies to Venezuela 2021 beneficiaries who did not re-register under the January 17, 2025, extension notice on or before September 10, 2025. Venezuela 2021 beneficiaries who re-registered under the January 17, 2025, notice on or before September 10, 2025, are treated as Venezuela 2023 beneficiaries. ^ Because of ongoing litigation, Venezuela 2023 beneficiaries, including Venezuela 2021 beneficiaries who registered under the January 17, 2025, notice on or before September 10, 2025, have TPS status through October 2, 2026, and an automatic extension of work authorization through April 2, 2026. On September 19, 2025, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to permit the termination of TPS status for those treated as Venezuela 2023 beneficiaries. We await a decision.
