The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced today that Temporary Protected Status for Honduras and Nicaragua will terminate on September 8. The announcements come only one week after the DHS announced that TPS status for Haiti would end on September 2.

UPDATE (7/2/25): A federal judge in New York on Tuesday found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not have the authority to partially vacate Haiti’s TPS status. According to Judge Brian Cogan (a George W.
