Temporary legal protections for about 200,000 immigrants from El Salvador are in limbo as a deadline nears for the Trump administration to decide on ending them, as they have for hundreds of thousands from Venezuela, Haiti and other countries. The Temporary Protected Status designation expires Wednesday. If the administration takes no action, TPS will be automatically extended for six months. TPS was initially granted for El Salvador in 2001 after devastating earthquakes in the Central American country. Under TPS, people already in the United States can remain if it's deemed unsafe for them to return.

Kelly Granado Montano, a Venezuelan living in the U.S., has been grappling with the aftermath of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. Her parents went missing under the rubble of their apartment building, and she spent weeks fundraising and searching for them. They were eventually found, but not alive. Granado Montano turned her Los Angeles restaurant into a relief hub to help others affected. Meanwhile, Venezuelans in the U.S. like nurse Dariela Merchan and student Alejandro Marquina are also dealing with the crisis, sending aid and raising awareness. The earthquakes have left many feeling powerless and uncertain about the future.
