Trump administration ends protections from deportation for Honduras, Nicaragua

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that it would rescind protections from deportation for Nicaragua and Honduras.

The move ends temporary protected status (TPS) for citizens of those countries living in the U.S., which were both established after the same deadly hurricane and in place for more than 25 years.

The move will end protections from deportation for more than 52,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans who have been in the U.S. since the late 1990s.
