El Salvador TPS EAD extension: expired documents still valid for work authorization

The U.S. government has clarified that expired Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for Salvadoran Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders (categories A12 or C19) remain valid proof of work authorization. This administrative clarification extends the validity of documents beyond the original expiration date of September 9, 2026, providing continuity for affected individuals. The move signals a policy stance on TPS for Salvadorans, which has broader immigration and political implications.
