Trump Administration Moves to End TPS for Honduran, Nicaraguan Immigrants
HONDURAS, JUL 7 – About 76,000 migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua lose Temporary Protected Status under DHS policy shift aimed at enforcing immigration laws, ending protections granted after natural disasters.
- On July 7, 2025, officials revealed that Temporary Protected Status for approximately 76,000 migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua residing in the United States will be discontinued as of September 8.
- The termination follows the Trump administration’s policy to reduce illegal immigration and remove individuals granted TPS after Hurricane Mitch devastated the countries decades ago.
- DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asserted that Honduras and Nicaragua have recovered from past natural disasters, making it safe for migrants to return, while critics contend that the administration is disregarding persistent risks and that ending protections would negatively impact families with strong ties to the U.S.
- Around 72,000 Honduran nationals and 4,000 Nicaraguan nationals who were protected under Temporary Protected Status will lose their protected status. Secretary Noem emphasized that TPS was always intended to be a short-term measure.
- The policy shift reflects a stricter application of immigration protections, potentially prompting deportations that could impact longstanding U.S. residents and alter immigration policy for countries with hazardous conditions.
