USCIS announced on September 9, 2026, the day El Salvador's Temporary Protected Status was set to expire, that roughly 150,000 Salvadoran TPS holders retain their protections, including work authorization. USCIS's El Salvador TPS page still lists September 9, 2026, as the prior continuation date, with a new alert stating protections remain in place until further announcement.</summary>
