Summary
About 101,800 migrants from Ukraine and Sudan will keep Temporary Protected Status for now after the program had been due to expire Monday.
Homeland Security said protections will remain in place until it announces the programs' future, but gave no timeline for that decision.
The reprieve covers roughly 100,000 Ukrainians and 1,800 Sudanese, both groups from countries still gripped by war and humanitarian crises.
The move echoes last month's decision to keep protections temporarily for more than 170,000 Salvadorans, who still have no final ruling.
It marks a partial break from the administration's broader push to unwind TPS, after ending protections for 13 of 17 countries and letting about 350,000 Haitians lose coverage this summer.
