how many dominicans are in protective status in the united states

There doesn’t appear to be a single published count for Dominicans specifically in Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the U.S.; most public sources report totals for all TPS holders, not by nationality. One recent overview says the U.S. had about 1,297,635 people with TPS as of March 31, 2025, but it does not break that total out for Dominicans.

What’s known

• TPS is a temporary immigration protection for people who cannot safely return to their home country.
• Public summaries often list the overall TPS population rather than each nationality.

• A separate Dominican-immigrant profile notes that Dominicans are a large immigrant group in the U.S., but it does not say how many have TPS.

Best reading

If you mean Dominicans from the Dominican Republic who have TPS , the exact number is not clearly stated in the public sources surfaced here. The safest answer is that the publicly available figure is not easily broken out , even though the overall TPS population is about 1.3 million.

Context

That matters because TPS numbers can change with redesignations, expirations, court rulings, and renewals, so a nationality-specific figure can shift quickly. In other words, the headline number is easy to find, but the Dominican slice usually is not.

TL;DR

The public data I found gives the total TPS population, not a Dominican-only count. The best available figure here is about 1.3 million TPS holders overall.
