EspañolDED is the Deferred Enforced Departure: it is a temporary immigration protection that allows: (1) undocumented persons to obtain social security with which they would obtain a work permit; and (2) they will be able to travel to their country in case of an emergency. DED was established as a vital tool within U.S. foreign policy. for the following reasons:
(1) to protect people from civil, political, and humanitarian crises in their countries of origin, and to protect those who face insecurity upon return to their countries;
(2) to further U.S. foreign policy. and other domestic interests in connection with the suspension of the deportation of persons.
DED
DED is a measure granted by the President, unlike other types of semi-immigrant status.

- DED would give 200,000 undocumented Colombians the opportunity to continue working and contributing to our communities without fear of deportation.

- DED is not a specific immigration status, it is only an immigration relief.
