Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) is a type of temporary protection from removal which is granted to individuals from designated countries. It is similar to TPS; however, unlike TPS, DED is designated by the Office of the President of the United States of America, as a constitutional power to conduct foreign relations. On the other hand, with respect to TPS, the Secretary of Homeland Security can designate a country for TPS.
Only the President can designate DED for nationals of a particular country by Executive Order or Presidential Memorandum. DED was first used in 1990. It has been used a total of five times. At the time of this writing, 17-Sep-2006: there are no countries currently designated under DED.
