US ends special immigration status for 57,000 Hondurans
The US Department of Homeland Security on Friday ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 57,000 Hondurans, giving them time until 5 January 2020 to leave the US or acquire legal residency by other means. The TPS programme has been provided to Hondurans since 1999 after Hurricane Mitch devastated the Central American country the year before.
