The Temporary Protected Status of 76,000 Honduran and Nicaraguan migrants living in the U.S. will be ended, according to federal authorities.
The Department of Homeland Security terminated the same status for Haiti, months after terminating TPS for Venezuelans. But a federal judge has since impeded that dissolution during an ongoing legal battle, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported that a source at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) told them that overturning TPS will affect about 76,000 migrants currently living in the U.S., with 72,000 from Honduras and 4,000 from Nicaragua.
“Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—temporary,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital. “It is clear that the Government of Honduras has taken all of the necessary steps to overcome the impacts of Hurricane Mitch, almost 27 years ago.”

“Honduran citizens can safely return home, and DHS is here to help facilitate their voluntary return,” Noem said. “Honduras has been a wonderful partner of the Trump Administration, helping us deliver on key promises to the American people. We look forward to continuing our work with them.”
“The impacts of a natural disaster impacting Nicaragua in 1999 no longer exist,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “The environmental situation has improved enough that it is safe enough for Nicaraguan citizens to return home. This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that TPS remains temporary.”
Formed by Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990, TPS permits individuals from countries affected by natural disasters, war, or other dangerous, uncommon situations to seek refuge in the U.S. This program can be repeated in 18-month increments.
