The Trump administration said on Monday that it would soon cancel the legal immigration status of more than 70,000 migrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, which is its latest attempt to curb human programs that allow foreigners to temporarily live in the US.
The Homeland Security Department stated that it would eliminate temporarily protected position programs for Honduras and Nicaragua in early September, unless they have other legal tools to live in the US, they would have to pave this route for those enrolled in the initiative of those.
Officially 72,000 Honduns and 4,000 Nicaraguan – many of which arrived in the 1990s – there are work permits and exile protection under the TPS policy, according to the official termination notice Published By DHS on Monday.
Since it was established by the Congress in 1990, the US government has used TPS to give some foreigners a temporary safe shelter, if it is considered very dangerous to return to its home countries due to armed conflicts, environmental disasters or other crises.
The Biden administration greatly expanded the TPS, offering hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mainly from Haiti and Venezuela, the opportunity to apply for the program. But President Trump, who ran over large -scale exile and hardcore immigration policies, has demanded a severe limit to TPS, as his administration has worked towards the fact that the promise that the President has promised will be the biggest exile campaign in American history.
The administration has now abolished TPS programs for hundreds of migrants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Haiti, Honduras, Nepara, Nicaragua and Venezuela, dramatically expanding the pools of those who are arrested and given by federal immigration officers.
While the efforts of the administration have faced legal challenges, the Supreme Court in this spring Let the officers cancel TPS protection of hundreds of thousands of Venezuela migrants.
The TPS policies for Honduras and Nicaragua were first built in 1999, when Hurricane Mich destroyed parts of Central America, causing frightening floods and thousands of people were killed.
In official termination notices, Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nom said that TPS was no longer warrant for both Honduras and Nicaragua, arguing that the conditions in both countries had improved significantly and they could achieve their citizens.
“The temporary protected position, as the name itself explains, is a naturally temporary position,” both finished notice said.
Nevada’s Democratic Sen Catherine Cortez Masto said the termination of TPS for Honduras and Nicaraguans would hurt families separately and American businesses.
“These families have been here since the 1990s, have been working hard and contributing to our state and country for decades,” said Cortage Masteo. “Sending innocent families back in danger will not protect our limit or will not secure America.”
