temporary protected status

The Department of Homeland Security announced that Haitians living in the United States since a catastrophic 2010 earthquake will have to return to their home.

The Department of Homeland Security revoked protections for 2,500 Nicaraguans living in the U.S. this week, while 50,000 Haitians and nearly 200,000 Salvadorans remain uncertain about their status.

Nicaraguans who have been covered under the same temporary status have been told they have just over a year to leave the country.
