Homeland Security grants temporary deportation relief to over 100,000 Ukrainians and Sudanese

🇺🇸 English

The Department of Homeland Security announced that it will allow more than 100,000 people from Ukraine and Sudan to remain in the United States without facing the imminent risk of deportation.

国土安全保障省は、ウクライナとスーダン出身の10万人以上が国外退去の差し迫った危険にさらされることなく米国に留まることを認めると発表した。

This amounts to a temporary reprieve in response to the fact that their right to stay was due to expire on Monday.

これは、彼らの滞在権が月曜日に失効する予定であったことを受けた一時的な猶予措置に相当する。

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) had been scheduled to end on October 19 for approximately 101,000 Ukrainians and 1,800 Sudanese.

一時保護資格(TPS)は、約10万1000人のウクライナ人と1800人のスーダン人について10月19日に終了する予定だった。

However, the Department of Homeland Security stated that an announcement would be made "at an appropriate time."

しかし国土安全保障省は、「適切な時期に発表される」と述べた。

In the meantime, the department said in a written statement that Ukrainians and Sudanese in the United States covered by these temporary measures "retain their protection."

それまでの間、同省は書面による声明で、これらの一時的措置の対象となる米国内のウクライナ人とスーダン人は「保護を保持する」と述べた。

The department did not indicate how long they would be able to stay or when a final announcement regarding their status would be made.

同省は、彼らがどのくらいの期間滞在できるか、また彼らの資格について最終発表がいつ行われるかについては示さなかった。

The Department of Homeland Security did not answer the question of whether they can keep their work permits, but TPS generally allows employment while the protection remains in effect.

国土安全保障省は、彼らが労働許可を保持できるかどうかという問いには回答しなかったが、TPSは一般的に、保護が有効な間は就労を許可するものである。

Monday's decision is yet another instance in which the Trump administration, which has previously sought to terminate these temporary deportation protections and send people back to their home countries, granted domestic stay to those with temporary status without providing guidance on how long they would be permitted to remain in the country.

月曜日の決定は、以前にこれらの一時的な国外退去保護を終了させ、人々を母国へ送り返そうとしてきたトランプ政権が、一時的資格の対象者に対し、どれだけの期間にわたって国内滞在を許可するかについての指針を示すことなく、国内滞在を認めたもう一つの事例である。

The Trump administration has already terminated TPS for more than one million people from 13 countries, including Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and Syria.

トランプ政権は既に、ベネズエラ、ハイチ、ホンジュラス、ニカラグア、アフガニスタン、シリアを含む13カ国からの100万人以上の人々を対象に、TPSを終了させている。

However, following a change in practice about a month ago, the administration maintained protection for roughly 200,000 Salvadorans whose TPS had been due to expire on September 9.

しかし、約1カ月前の慣行の変更により、政権は、9月9日にTPSが失効する予定であった約20万人のサルバドル人について保護を維持した。

On that occasion as well, it stated that a decision would be made at an appropriate time, and that until then, people of Salvadoran origin could continue to work and live in the United States.

その際にも、適切な時期に決定を下すと述べ、それまでの間、エルサルバドル出身者は米国で働き、生活し続けることができるとした。

Activists and a bipartisan group of lawmakers have argued that returning home remains unsafe while the war with Russia continues, and have been sounding the alarm about the imminent expiration of TPS for Ukrainians.

活動家や超党派の議員グループは、ロシアとの戦争が続く中で帰国は依然として安全ではないと主張し、ウクライナ人に対するTPSの失効が差し迫っていることについて警鐘を鳴らしてきた。

Ukraine first received TPS designation in April 2022, after Russia launched its full-scale invasion two months earlier.

ウクライナは、2カ月前にロシアが本格侵攻を開始したことを受けて、2022年4月に初めてTPSの指定を受けた。

The Biden administration subsequently extended the designation, and most recently, in January 2025, the Department of Homeland Security granted protection for an additional 18 months, through October 2026.

バイデン政権はその後指定を延長し、直近では2025年1月に、国土安全保障省が2026年10月までの追加18カ月にわたる保護を認めた。

Sudan's TPS program was established in 1997, and since then, successive U.S. administrations have extended it, citing the armed conflict and political instability that have long plagued this African nation.

スーダンのTPSプログラムは1997年に設立され、それ以来、歴代の米国政権は、このアフリカ国家を悩ませてきた武力紛争と政治的不安定を理由に、同プログラムを延長してきた。

The decision on Monday came just two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, when Trump's hardline immigration policies will be put to the test at the ballot box.

月曜日の決定は、トランプ氏の強硬な移民政策が投票箱で試される11月3日の中間選挙のわずか2週間前に行われた。

In 1990, the U.S. Congress created TPS in order to prevent the deportation of people from countries ravaged by natural disasters or civil unrest.

米国議会は1990年、自然災害や内乱に苛まれる国々からの国外退去を防止すべく、TPSを創設した。

This permits people already in the country to stay and work, granted for a renewable period when the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that returning home would not be safe.

これは、すでに国内にいる人々の滞在および就労を許可するもので、国土安全保障長官が帰国は安全でないと判断した場合、更新可能な期間で認められる。

However, it does not provide a path to permanent residency.

しかし、永住権への道筋は与えられない。

Supporters argue that this measure prevents people from being sent back into dangerous conditions, and they insist that it would be cruel to deport TPS beneficiaries en masse after they have lived in the United States for many years.

支持者らは、この措置によって人々が危険な状況へ逆戻りするのを防げると主張し、米国で長年暮らした末にTPS受益者を根こそぎ追放するのは残酷だと訴えている。

Critics, on the other hand — especially those within the Trump administration — point out that successive administrations have extended such protections for years regardless of the actual conditions in the beneficiaries' home countries.

一方、批評家、とりわけトランプ政権内の批評家は、歴代政権が母国の実情に関わりなくこうした保護を幾年にわたって延長してきたと指摘している。

Under federal regulations, if the Secretary does not reach a decision at least 60 days before the designation expires, TPS is automatically extended for six months.

連邦規則に基づけば、長官が指定失効の少なくとも60日前までに判断を下さない場合、TPSは自動的に6カ月間延長されることとなる。

"I am grateful that an extension, even if only temporary, has been secured for TPS holders from Ukraine and Sudan," said Myal Greene, president and CEO of World Relief, an organization that has carried out humanitarian work in both countries.

「ウクライナとスーダンのTPS保持者に対する、たとえ一時的であれ延長が実現したことを感謝します」と、両国で人道支援活動を展開してきた組織ワールド・リリーフの会長兼CEO、マイアル・グリーン氏は述べた。

"I would urge the administration and Congress to consider longer-term relief measures for the women, men, and children striving to build stability while their home countries descend into turmoil."

「政権と議会には、母国が混乱に陥る中で安定を築こうと努める女性、男性、そして子どもたちのため、より長期的な救済措置を検討するよう促したい。」

Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, President and CEO of Global Refuge, pointed out that Ukraine and Sudan are not safe and that they meet the legal conditions for extending TPS.

グローバル・レフュージの会長兼CEOであるクリシュ・オマラ・ヴィグナラジャ氏は、ウクライナとスーダンは安全ではなく、TPS延長の法的条件を満たしていると指摘した。

"Russia's war in Ukraine is approaching its fifth year, and the Ukrainian people are about to face another winter under drone and missile attacks.

「ロシアによるウクライナ戦争は5年目に近づいており、ウクライナの人々はドローンやミサイル攻撃の下で再び冬を迎えようとしている。

This is causing civilian casualties and destroying critical infrastructure.

それにより民間人の死傷者が生じ、重要インフラが破壊されている。

Sudan remains trapped in a brutal civil war marked by famine, widespread human rights abuses, and genocide," Vignarajah said.

スーダンは、飢餓や広範な人権侵害、ジェノサイドの特徴を伴う残忍な内戦に依然として閉じ込められている」とヴィグナラジャ氏は述べた。

"It is not safe for these families to return home."

「これらの家族が帰宅するのは安全ではない。」
