US EditionDepartment of Homeland Security Ends Temporary Protected Status for Honduras, Nicaragua
- The Department of Homeland Security ended Temporary Protected Status for Honduras and Nicaragua on July 5, 2025, with terminations effective 60 days after notice publication.
- TPS was initially granted to these countries in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch struck Central America in 1998, causing massive destruction and loss of life.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated improved conditions in both countries justified ending TPS, adding Honduras can safely receive returning citizens.
- About 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans had TPS protection, and DHS offers a voluntary return program including a plane ticket and $1,000 exit bonus.
- The termination restores the temporary nature of TPS but may separate families and impact U.S. businesses as many individuals have long contributed to communities.
