The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced that the current Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua will lapse beginning July 5. The end of the 25-year protections for these countries will affect an estimated 50,000 people.
This news comes after DHS’ removal of several other TPS designations – including for Afghanistan, Cameroon, Haiti, and Venezuela – throughout Trump’s second term, as the administration claims the protections have been abused or misused. Immigration advocacy groups continue to warn that removing these protections will allow immigrants to be deported to countries that remain unsafe.
What Happens Once This Removal Takes Effect?
The Federal Register notices emphasize a 60-day period following the lapse on July 5 before TPS protections officially terminate for Nicaragua and Honduras. Once this period passes and TPS protections are revoked, Nicaraguan and Honduran immigrants will no longer have the right to work or travel outside the U.S. and return freely.
