U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has temporarily deprived Democrats of a potent midterm rallying cry and averted a crisis for El Salvador’s president, one of President Donald Trump’s top fanboys, by tacitly agreeing to continue shielding 170,000 El Salvadorans from deportation — a protection that was set to expire on Sept. 9.DHS now says that a decision “will be made at the appropriate time,” in effect suspending the immigrants and their families in a fearful limbo.The administration may yet seek to deport the Salvadorans. After all, the second Trump administration has already stripped more than 1 million immigrants from 13 countries of such protection, often willy-nilly and in seeming contravention of the conditions set by Congress when it created a program for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) some three decades ago. Under its terms, the U.S. grants temporary permission to live and work in the U.S. to those unauthorized immigrants whom the U.S. judges are unable to return to a designated country because of conflict or environmental disaster.
