Florida is the state with the highest number of immigrants protected from deportation in the U.S., according to a newly published report from the Department of Homeland Security.

The protected migrants are part of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), designated by the DHS, which allows people whose countries are experiencing devastation from natural disasters and conflict to stay in the U.S. Recipients must have already been in the U.S. before a certain date to qualify.
