Nolo's book U.S. Immigration Made Easy explains deferred enforced departure (DED), but says that no countries' citizens are currently eligible for this benefit. However, President Bush recently designated certain Liberians -- those living in the U.S. with temporary protected status, or TPS, who haven't committed crimes, returned to Liberia, or otherwise become ineligible -- for DED.
You don't need to apply for DED status, and if you got a work permit with your TPS, it is automatically extended. (Or you can apply for a replacement one.) For details, see the USCIS website.
