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?
