DHS Ends TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua

In July 2025 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the latest cuts to individuals living in the U.S. with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).  Those from Honduras and Nicaragua who were living in the U.S. with TPS now have just a few weeks to figure out what to do next. This decision will impact thousands of long-time U.S. residents who have lived and worked here under TPS protection for over two decades.

Here are the key details you need to know:

• Termination Effective Dates: TPS benefits are no longer in effect starting 60 days after DHS publishes the termination notice in the Federal Register. This means:
  • Nicaragua: TPS will end on September 8, 2025
  • Honduras: TPS will end on September 8, 2025

Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) remain valid through September 8, 2025. If you or someone you know is affected, now is the time to explore other immigration options such as:

• Family-based petitions
• Employment-based visas
• Asylum or other humanitarian relief
• Adjustment of status

It’s crucial to consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible to develop a personalized legal strategy and explore potential options. Contact our office to schedule a consultation if you have any questions. We are here to help!
