U.S. Ends Temporary Protected Status for Honduran and Nicaraguan Migrants

Edited by: Татьяна Гуринович

The U.S. government announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, effective September 3, 2025.

This decision affects approximately 72,000 Honduran and 4,000 Nicaraguan nationals currently residing in the United States under TPS.

The Department of Homeland Security cited improvements in both countries since the program's initial establishment in the 1990s.

A 60-day transition period is offered, during which affected individuals will remain work-authorized.

Advocacy groups have criticized the decision, expressing concerns about the impact on families and communities.

This move follows similar actions by the administration, signaling a shift in U.S. immigration policy.
