Sign-On Letter Calling for TPS for Nepal

A 5/5/15 letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson from 127 organizations, calling for a temporary protected status (TPS) designation for Nepal due to the massive earthquake on 4/25/15.


May 5, 2015

The Honorable Jeh Johnson

Department of Homeland Security

Washington, DC 20528

Dear Secretary Johnson:

In coalition with Nepali organizations based in the United States, including Adhikaar in New York, the

National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) are a part of a nation-wide movement to support

humanitarian efforts for Nepal. The massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook Nepal has resulted in

mass death and destruction. This devastation and tragedy has touched all of our hearts as the difficult

relief efforts have begun.

NCAPA commends the Obama Administration for contributing to urgent relief efforts in Nepal. While

the U.S. is directing much-needed relief aid to Nepal, another significant way we can help limit the strain

on that country's resources is by designating Nepal for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under § 244(b)

of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In a very similar circumstance, after a massive earthquake in

Haiti, the Secretary of Homeland Security acted quickly to designate Haiti for TPS. That response can and

should be repeated for Nepal as soon as possible.

Section 244(b)(1)(B) allows for a TPS designation if an environmental disaster, including specifically an

earthquake, has caused a substantial temporary disruption of living conditions in the area affected such

that the country cannot adequately handle the return of its nationals; and the country has officially

requested a TPS designation.
