Background

On May 4, 2018, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of Honduras’ TPS designation, with an effective date delayed by 18 months to allow for an orderly transition. DHS determined that termination of Honduras’ TPS designation is required under the Immigration and Nationality Act. In making this decision, DHS took into consideration information on current conditions in Honduras provided by U.S. government agencies.

Additional information about TPS is available at uscis.gov/tps.
