国土安全部自动延长黎巴嫩临时保护身份

The Department of Homeland Security posted a Federal Register notice on the six-month automatic extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Lebanon, from May 28, 2026, through Nov. 27, 2026.

Under the TPS statute, if the secretary of homeland security does not decide whether a country still qualifies for TPS at least 60 days before the country’s TPS designation expires, its TPS designation is automatically extended for six months.

Former Secretary Noem and Secretary Mullin, who was sworn in on March 24, 2026, were unable to make an informed determination on Lebanon’s TPS designation by the March 28, 2026 statutory deadline due to the dynamic and quickly unfolding events in Lebanon that required a new review of country conditions and impacted the ability to provide information for Secretarial consideration.

A six-month extension allows existing beneficiaries of TPS Lebanon to keep their TPS through Nov. 27, 2026, if they still meet the eligibility requirements for TPS.
