🇺🇸 English

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has stated that more than 100,000 people from Ukraine and Sudan will be permitted to remain in the United States without facing the immediate prospect of deportation; this constitutes a temporary reprieve, their right to stay having previously been set to expire on Monday.

美国国土安全部表示,来自乌克兰和苏丹的逾10万人得以继续居留美国,而无需即刻面临遣返之虞;此实为一项临时缓期措施,此前其留美权利原定于周一届满。

Temporary protected status for approximately 101,000 Ukrainians and 1,800 Sudanese had been scheduled to expire on October 19.

针对约10.1万名乌克兰人和1800名苏丹人的临时保护身份原定于10月19日届满。

However, the Department of Homeland Security said the relevant announcement would be "issued in due course."

然而,国土安全部表示,相关公告将“在适当时候发布”。

Until then, the department said in a written statement that Ukrainians and Sudanese in the United States covered by these temporary measures "retain their protections."

在此之前,该部门在一份书面声明中称,受这些临时措施覆盖的旅美乌克兰人和苏丹人“保留保护”。

The department specified neither how long they may stay nor when a final announcement on their status would be issued.

该部门既未说明他们可以停留多久,亦未说明何时会就其身份发布最终公告。

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond as to whether they would be permitted to retain their work permits; however, temporary protected status generally allows people to continue working for as long as the protective measures remain in force.

国土安全部未就是否允许他们保留工作许可一事作出回应;然而,临时保护身份通常允许人们在保护措施依然有效期间继续工作。

Monday's decision marks yet another instance of the Trump administration reverting to its characteristic approach: having previously sought to terminate these temporary protections against deportation and to repatriate those affected to their countries of origin, it has now permitted individuals covered by temporary status to remain in the United States, without offering any guidance as to how long they may stay.

周一的决定标志着特朗普政府再度展现其一贯做法:该政府此前曾试图终止这些免于遣返的临时保护措施,并将相关人员遣送回原籍国,而此次却允许受临时身份覆盖者留在美国,且未就停留时长给出任何指导。

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

特朗普政府已终止针对来自13个国家、逾100万人的临时保护身份,所涉国家包括委内瑞拉、海地、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、阿富汗和叙利亚。

However, in a policy reversal roughly a month ago, the administration preserved protections for nearly 200,000 Salvadorans, whose temporary protected status had been due to expire on September 9.

然而,在大约一个月前的一次政策转向中,政府保留了针对近20万名萨尔瓦多人的保护措施——其临时保护身份原定于9月9日届满。

In that instance, they likewise said a decision would be made in due course, and in the meantime Salvadorans were able to continue working and living in the United States.

在那一情形下,他们同样表示将在适当时候作出决定,与此同时,来自萨尔瓦多的人得以继续在美国工作和生活。

Activists and a bipartisan group of lawmakers have consistently sounded the alarm over the impending expiration deadline for Ukrainians' temporary protected status, contending that conditions for their return home remain unsafe amid the war with Russia.

活动人士与一个两党议员团体始终就乌克兰人临时保护身份即将届满的最后期限发出警示,认为在與俄罗斯的战争期间,他们返回家园的条件仍不安全。

Ukraine was first designated for Temporary Protected Status in April 2022, two months after Russia launched its unprovoked full-scale invasion.

乌克兰于2022年4月首次被指定为临时保护身份对象,而此前两个月,俄罗斯悍然发动了全面入侵。

The Biden administration subsequently extended the designation on several occasions, most recently in January 2025, when the Department of Homeland Security approved an additional 18 months of protection through October 2026.

拜登政府其后数度延续该项指定,最近一次是在2025年1月,彼时国土安全部批准追加18个月的保护,直至2026年10月。

Sudan's Temporary Protected Status programme dates back to 1997, and ever since then, successive US administrations have extended it, given that armed conflict and political turmoil have long plagued this African nation.

苏丹的临时保护身份项目肇始于1997年,自彼时起,鉴于武装冲突与政治动荡长期困扰这一非洲国家,历届美国政府均对该项目予以延续。

Monday's decision comes a mere two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, when Trump's hardline immigration policies are bound to be put to the test at the ballot box.

周一的那项决定距11月3日中期选举仅余两周,届时特朗普强硬的移民政策势将在投票箱前接受检验。

The U.S. Congress established the Temporary Protected Status program in 1990, with the aim of preventing the repatriation of affected individuals to countries that are currently suffering from natural disasters or civil unrest.

美国国会于1990年创设了临时保护身份制度,其宗旨在于防止将相关人员遣返至正遭受自然灾害或内乱的国家。

This provision allows those already present in the United States to remain and work lawfully, and it may be renewed if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that conditions in their home country are unsafe for return; however, it does not afford them a pathway to permanent residency.

该条款允许已身处美国境内者继续居留并合法就业,且若国土安全部长判定其返国条件不安全,则可予以续期;然而,该条款并未赋予其取得永久居留权的途径。

Supporters contend that invoking this instrument safeguards people from being deported to perilous circumstances, and that uprooting individuals after they have lived in the United States for many years is, moreover, an act of sheer cruelty.

支持者声称,动用这一工具可保障人们免遭遣返至危险境地,况且在人们于美国生活多年之后将其连根拔起,实属残忍之举。

Critics — particularly those within the Trump administration — counter that successive governments have repeatedly extended these protections over the years with utter disregard for what has actually transpired within the countries of origin.

批评者——尤其是特朗普政府中的批评者——则指出,历届政府多年来一再延长这些保护,而全然不顾原籍国境内究竟发生了何种变故。

Federal regulations explicitly stipulate that if the Secretary fails to issue a ruling at least 60 days before the designated expiration date, temporary protected status shall be automatically extended for six months.

联邦法规明文规定,倘若部长未能在指定到期日之前至少60天作出裁决,临时保护身份便将自动顺延六个月。

“We are grateful for the extension granted to holders of temporary protected status from Ukraine and Sudan, however brief it may be,” said Mia’l Green, the president and chief executive of World Relief.

“我们感激乌克兰和苏丹的临时保护身份持有者所获准的延期,无论其何等短暂,”世界救济会总裁兼首席执行官米亚尔·格林表示。

The organization has provided humanitarian assistance in both countries.

该组织曾在这两个国家提供人道主义援助。

“We urge the administration and Congress to consider providing more lasting relief for the women, men and children who remain mired in turmoil in their home countries and are struggling to achieve stability.”

“我们敦促政府和国会考量,为那些在原籍国仍深陷动荡、竭力谋求稳定的妇女、男子和儿童,提供更为长远的救济。”

Krish O'Mara Vignarajah, President and CEO of Global Refuge, pointed out that neither Ukraine nor Sudan meets the conditions for safety, thereby satisfying the legal criteria for extending Temporary Protected Status.

全球避难所总裁兼首席执行官克里什·奥马拉·维格纳拉贾指出,乌克兰与苏丹均不具备安全条件,符合延长临时保护身份的法律要件。

“As Russia’s war against Ukraine approaches its fifth year, Ukrainians are bracing themselves to endure yet another winter under the shadow of drone and missile strikes—attacks that have inflicted civilian casualties and devastated critical infrastructure.

“随着俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争逼近第五个年头,乌克兰人正严阵以待,准备在无人机与导弹袭击的阴霾下再度熬过一个冬天——这些袭击已造成平民伤亡,并摧毁了关键基础设施。

Sudan, meanwhile, remains mired in a brutal civil war marked by famine, widespread human rights abuses, and characteristics of genocide,” Vignarajah stated.

苏丹则仍深陷一场残酷的内战,其标志是饥荒、广泛的人权侵犯以及种族灭绝的特征,”维格纳拉贾表示。

“It is not safe for these families to return home.”

“这些家庭返回家园并不安全。”
