WHAT ABOUT HONDURAS AND NEPAL?: A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 people from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan. The decision halts those terminations temporarily, but it doesn’t address what happens to TPS beneficiaries from Nepal and Honduras, who’ll lose their protected status in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Why weren’t Nepal and Honduras included in the lawsuit? The Trump administration hadn’t yet ended TPS for those countries when the complaint was filed in March. The plaintiffs could have sought to amend the suit to include the two countries, but they were racing against a deadline for Sudan, according to Emi MacLean, an attorney with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, which represents plaintiffs in the case. TPS status will end for roughly 1,000 Sudanese on Nov. 2.
What now? The plaintiffs are considering ways to protect the 86,000 Hondurans and 14,800 Nepalese, but they haven’t finalized a plan. It’s possible these countries will be addressed in parallel litigation: A separate lawsuit filed in May includes Honduran TPS recipients along with those from El Salvador and Haiti.
