These immigrants who’ve spent decades in the US fear their deportation protections are on the verge of ending - CNN

Soledad Miranda’s eyes fill with tears as she packs boxes for a move she’s hoping she won’t have to make. “I feel defeated,” she says. For 25 years, the program known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, has allowed Miranda and around 170,000 other Salvadorans to work legally in the United States and protected them from deportation. Now many are on edge awaiting the Trump administration’s decision on their futures. “All of us are just holding our breath,” says Abel Nuñez, executive director of the Central American Resource Center in Washington. Some Salvadorans had hoped the rapport between Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and US President Donald Trump could pave the way for a reprieve, even as administration officials have revoked deportation protections for many other nationalities. But the Department of Homeland Security hasn’t yet made an announcement on TPS for El Salvador.
