Why hasn't the Trump administration decided the fate of TPS for Salvadorans?

What happened: The Trump administration has not decided whether to extend or revoke Temporary Protected Status for about 170,000 Salvadoran immigrants, more than three weeks after the deadline. Key numbers: About 170,000 Salvadorans affected; about 1.3 million people from 17 countries held TPS when Trump returned to office; Salvadorans are the largest remaining Why it matters: The delay leaves the Salvadoran community in uncertainty, with reports that the White House was warned canceling TPS would disrupt Washington, D.C. construction projects, a claim a White House official called false.
