A district court block the termination of Ethiopia’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation on January 30, 2026. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later acknowledged the block. This means Ethiopia TPS beneficiaries retain their detention and removal protections. Additionally, any TPS-based employment authorization documents (EADs) that expired on June 12, 2024 and December 12, 2025 are retroactively made valid again. This means both employment and non-employment-based Ethiopia TPS beneficiaries retain their legal status.
