Trump Administration Cancels Protected Status for Honduran and Nicaraguan Immigrants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
