What is DED?
Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is a form of legal protection for people in the United States. DED is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of dangerous situations, including political conflict.
If you qualify for DED, you can:
- Stay in the U.S. legally for a period of time
- Apply for a work permit in the USA
- Apply for a document to travel outside the USA
- Be protected from detention and deportation
DED is temporary. It does not give you lawful permanent status, citizenship, or any permanent immigration status.
DED Liberia expired on June 30, 2026.
What happens when DED ends?
If you do not have another legal immigration status besides DED, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained, put in removal proceedings, and deported.
