Honduran and Nicaraguan Temporary Protected Status Terminated by DHS

Tens of thousands of Honduran and Nicaraguan migrants in the United States will no longer have Temporary Protected Status, according to a Department of Homeland Security announcement. About 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans will have their TPS revoked by DHS, eliminating protections initially provided following the 1998 and 1999 natural disasters.
Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, stressed that TPS was never intended to be permanent and declared that Honduras and Nicaragua are now safe to return to. To make their departure easier, TPS-eligible migrants will get free airline tickets and a $1,000 exit bonus via the CBP One app.
