National Taskforce to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Statement on Ending Salvadoran TPS

On January 9, 2018, the National Taskforce to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (of which ASISTA is a co-chair of the immigration sub committee) issued a statement denouncing the Administration’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for El Salvador. If expelled from
the United States, many of the 200,000 individuals now protected by Salvadoran TPS will face grave danger and high levels of violence, including gender-based violence. The National Taskforce calls on the Trump Administration to reconsider its decision to end TPS and urges Congress to enact a permanent legislative solution. NTF TPS letter final -1-9-18
