Thanks for sharing these articles nyeshangaale. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a decision to terminate TPS for Honduras and El Salvador. And I came across this today...

Trump agency wants to end temporary protection for 50,000 Haitians in U.S.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/04/20/trump-agency-temporary-protection-haitians-united-states/100709428/ "President Trump's immigration agency is recommending that the U.S. end temporary protections by next January for 50,000 Haitians allowed to remain in the United States following a series of natural disasters that have crippled the poverty-stricken Caribbean nation. James McCament, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, concluded in a letter last week that conditions in Haiti have improved enough to end "temporary protected status" for Haitians, according to a copy of the letter obtained by USA TODAY."

There have been voices against this idea as mentioned in the article. Anyway, if Haiti's TPS isn't extended beyond the 6 months transition, I highly doubt Nepal's will. Although Haiti has had 7 years and Nepal is only on its 2nd year with far fewer recipients. Anyway, will be really interesting to watch decision on Haiti next month.
