WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Monday extended temporary protected status for thousands of Salvadorans in the United States, granting them reprieve from removal to El Salvador.

Administration officials had insisted for weeks that the continuance of TPS was not on the table in exchange for the resumption of aid to the small Central American country, or the signing of a recent agreement on asylum seekers. An estimated 200,000 Salvadorans in the U.S. have TPS, making them the largest single group under the program. Many live in Los Angeles.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, a millionaire millennial who has had warm words for President Trump and his officials, touted the move in a Twitter announcement Monday morning as a victory for his newly elected administration.

3. Defintely out of character. With these people, it means there's some flim flammery going on.

Undoubtedly meant to throw people off their scent by introducing exotic behavior maneuvers.

5. Did Stephen Miller drop dead and no one reported it?

Or did Trump finally realize after being booed on Sunday that he is thoroughly disliked by a large share of the population and this is his attempt to make people think he’s actually human? It won’t work.

6. Who paid the Bribe?

And how much money was it? Or are we gonna see a new Trump Hotel in San Salvador?

8. Well...

They were fighting a court case so they probably thought they were going to lose. Now they need to do the same for the Honderañans.
