DED Palestine has ended
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.
The last day of DED Palestine was August 13, 2025. As of this date:
- People from Palestine with DED will no longer have this protection.
- Work permits through DED will no longer be valid.
What happens when DED Palestine expires?
You will now have the same immigration status you had before getting DED.
IIf 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 and deported.
What to do
- Palestine Legal offers legal support to Palestinians in the United States.
- Talk to an immigration lawyer. It is important to seek legal help and learn about your options for staying in the U.S.
- Apply for another immigration status if you qualify. Review if you are eligible for asylum, lawful permanent status (Green Card), or other U.S. visas.
- Be prepared for ICE. Know what to do if you are undocumented and agents come to your home or work. Know your rights and how to create a safety plan.
- Stay informed. Learn more about immigration changes under the new administration.
