DHS auto-extends South Sudan's TPS designation due to inability to make a timely determination

  1. Original Date Announced

    May 2, 2025

    South Sudan's Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, which was set to expire on May 3, 2025, was automatically extended by 6 months.

    "Under the TPS statute, if the Secretary does not determine whether a foreign state continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS at least 60 days before the current expiration of the country’s TPS designation, the period of designation is automatically extended for six months."

    The renewal states that "[t]he Secretary was unable to make an informed determination on South Sudan’s designation by the March 4, 2025 statutory deadline due to the lack of an updated analysis of current country conditions in South Sudan."
