(Texas Scorecard) – More than 70,000 Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals residing in the United States will soon have their temporary legal status revoked, including several thousand living in Texas.
In notices published Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated that it is terminating the Temporary Protected Status for certain nationals from Honduras and Nicaragua, saying neither country currently meets the conditions for the designation.
The TPS designation, established by Congress in 1990, provides certain foreign nationals with temporary legal status in the U.S. if returning to their home countries is deemed too dangerous due to political, economic, or environmental crises.
Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals first received the protections after Hurricane Mitch rocked the countries in 1998, causing at least 10,000 deaths and thousands more to go missing.
Approximately 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans have work permits and deportation protections under the TPS policy, according to the notices. The TPS terminations take effect in 60 days. more
