Secretary Noem states that the program “was designed to be… temporary.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the end of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for citizens of Nicaragua and Honduras, which will open nearly 60,000 migrants to deportation.
“Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that – temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated.
The department said that the dangerous conditions warranting TPS for Nicaraguans and Hondurans had “improved” and is now directing all migrants to report their planned departures to the agency. The DHS promises migrants “a complementary plane ticket” as well as “a $1,000 exit bonus to help them resettle.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit alleging that ending TPS for the two countries was “not based on an objective review of country conditions” and thus violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Noem to be discerning as she seeks to apply and uphold federal immigration laws.
- For the safety of ICE, DHS, Border Patrol, and other federal agents as they face a 700 percent increase in assaults.
- For prudence for federal judges as they hear cases filed against the president’s administration.
