TPS has shifted under Trump — what the numbers show

Pew Research published its weekly roundup today, and the big one is how Temporary Protected Status has changed under Trump. The piece walks through the data on TPS — who has it, who lost it, and how the policy has shifted since he took office.

TPS is the program that lets people from countries with armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions stay in the US temporarily. It's not a path to citizenship — it's a shield while conditions at home make it unsafe to go back. Families with kids, folks working side jobs, the auntie running a bakery — they're the ones who depend on it. The article lays out the specifics of what changed under the second Trump term.

Why this matters for us: If your family is covered by TPS or thinking about applying, the ground has moved — and knowing exactly what shifted is the difference between staying put and losing everything.
