TPS is an immigration benefit that provides protection against deportation to nationals of countries that are designated by the federal government. It means that visitors from those countries, who overstay their visas, and undocumented immigrants from those countries who have arrived without visas can stay legally in the United States because conditions in their homelands are so dangerous that they would be unsafe if returned.
