Occurrences

Therefore, if you choose to terminate TPS for El Salvador, I urge you to provide a smooth transition for TPS holders by adopting a “parole in place” policy and an orderly transition period of two years.

In a follow-up letter to the DHS secretary, Suozzi urged an extension of El Salvador TPS and proposed parole in place plus a two-year transition if TPS is terminated.

USCIS/E-Verify states that the TPS designation of El Salvador and related benefits are set to terminate on Sept. 9, 2026, and that certain pending-renewal EADs are extended only until that date.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Shows that, after Suozzi's advocacy, the operative agency status remained unresolved or adverse as of the latest official update found; it does not show adoption of a new extension, parole-in-place policy, or two-year transition.

The promise was framed as an advocacy commitment, not as a guarantee that DHS would extend TPS or adopt the fallback policies. During his current federal House term, Suozzi sent letters urging DHS to extend TPS for El Salvador and specifically proposed parole-in-place plus a two-year transition period if TPS were terminated. The later USCIS/E-Verify update showing TPS still set to terminate on September 9, 2026 means the underlying policy outcome had not been secured, but it does not negate fulfillment of the promised advocacy action.
