Trump Administration Cancels Protected Status for Honduran and Nicaraguan Immigrants

HeadlineJul 08, 2025

The Trump administration said it’s terminating deportation protections for some 76,000 immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua. Many of those affected have been living and working in the U.S. for over a quarter of a century, after receiving temporary protected status in 1999 following Hurricane Mitch. Some have since obtained permanent residency, but the move could mean some 50,000 others will face deportation as soon as September. The National TPS Alliance on Monday announced it’s suing the Trump administration on behalf of immigrants from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal.
