U.S. Extends Protections For Thousands From El Salvador

The video discusses the status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Salvadorans in the US. The Department of Homeland Security announced an extension of work permits for Salvadorans with TPS until January 4, 2021, with an additional 365 days to repatriate after lawsuits conclude.
