The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Hondurans and Nicaraguans after determining that conditions in those countries no longer justify this protection from deportation. Secretary Kristi Noem noted that Honduras has adequately addressed the challenges posed by Hurricane Mitch. Approximately 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans living in the U.S. for decades will be impacted. Temporary Protected Status was first implemented in 1999 due to natural disasters, and the latest extension was set to expire on July 5, 2025.
