  • In Chicago, there is a significant number of migrants who are not eligible for federal Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Currently, there are 12,281 migrants residing in 25 shelters across the city. Out of these, more than 1,800 individuals are still waiting for placements. However, it has been revealed that only a quarter of the 2,000 migrants in Chicago are eligible for special protection and work permits provided by the federal government. This information has raised concerns about the fate of those who do not qualify for TPS and the implications for the city as a whole.Acquiring temporary protected status is a challenging process that usually requires the assistance of an attorney. However, for the thousands of people in Chicago who are not even eligible to apply, the situation becomes even more complicated. Temporary protected status is granted to nationals of certain countries that have been deemed unsafe by the Department of Homeland Security. To be eligible, individuals must have arrived in the United States by July 31st. If approved, they can legally work and live in the country for up to 18 months.In Chicago, the majority of recent arrivals are from Venezuela. The National Immigrant Justice Center has identified that most of the migrants eligible for temporary protected status are also from Venezuela. Lisa Koop, the national director of legal services at the center, shed light on the plight of thousands of individuals who are currently in Chicago but arrived after the July 31st deadline. According to Koop, their only option at this point is to apply for asylum, a much more complex and challenging process.Therefore, there exists a significant population in Chicago that is caught in an in-between situation due to their ineligibility for temporary protected status. The fate of these individuals remains uncertain, and the city must grapple with the implications of their situation. The lack of available avenues for these migrants highlights the need for comprehensive and compassionate immigration policies that address the realities faced by those seeking refuge and protection.
  • Subtitles section
  • This budget plan approval comes as there are twelve thousand two hundred eighty one migrants in twenty five shelters across the city.
  • Right now, more than eighteen hundred people are still awaiting placements.
  • There are more than two thousand migrants in Chicago right now, but Arturo Molina learned about a quarter of them are eligible for the special protection and work permits that have been made possible by the federal government.
  • Tara is joining us live from the newsroom.
  • Tara, you asked experts what that means for those who are not eligible and what it means for the city.
  • Exactly.
  • Jim and Marie, we've told you the process to apply for temporary protection status isn't easy and typically needs to be done with an attorney.
  • But what about the thousands of people here who don't even have the option?
  • Federal temporary protected status made possible for nationals of certain countries designated unsafe by the Department of Homeland Security.
  • People can only apply if they arrived in the U.S.
  • by July thirty first.
  • If they're both eligible and approved, they can legally work and live in the United States for up to eighteen months.
  • Here in Chicago, we know the majority of recent arrivals are from Venezuela.
  • And according to the National Immigrant Justice Center, most of the people here eligible for the federal temporary protected status are from there.
  • Lisa Koop is their national director of legal services.
  • I asked her about the thousands here right now who aren't eligible for temporary protection because they arrived after the July thirty first deadline.
  • Their only option, she says, apply for asylum, a much more difficult process.
  • So there really are thousands of people in Chicago right now that are kind of stuck in an in between because of the
  • the deadline that's right and so we have a lot of people in a growing population of people who need some other form of relief and so we'll look at those cases we'll figure out who should be applying for asylum and we'll do our very best to connect those people with services and help them apply for asylum
  • Asylum, like I said, is such a long process.
  • Once you even apply, you're waiting a hundred and fifty days before you're even eligible to ask for employment authorization.
  • And then the path to ultimately having that application adjudicated is probably more like years.
  • Now I'm told the applications for temporary protected status typically take around six months to process, but there's a push right now to expedite that to about a month.
  • We have more from the National Immigrant Justice Center, the city and state officials coming up at five o'clock.
  • For now, recording live in the newsroom, I'm Tara Molina, CBS Two News.
  • Thank you, Tara.
