The Trump administration officially ends temporary protected status for Hondurans

The Trump administration announced Friday afternoon it will not renew Temporary Protected Status for 57,000 Honduran people who have lived in the U.S. since a 1999 hurricane, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.

The administration will give the Hondurans 18 months — or until Jan. 5, 2020 — to return home. Hondurans are the second-largest national group of TPS beneficiaries.
