Fact Check: Is it 'Unfair' for Trump to End TPS for Nicaraguans and Hondurans?
It’s the kind of story that inspires tear-jerking pieces in the mainstream media: a Trump administration proposal that would send people who were here legally for decades back to their countries. But is it being accurately reported — and is Donald Trump acting unfairly?
It was one of the stories that fell through the proverbial cracks in the media coverage last week, but over the next two months, the Temporary Protected Status of individuals who are in the United States from five countries — Afghanistan, Cameroon, Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua are set to expire.
For the unfamiliar, TPS is a program under Section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows citizens of a foreign country who are physically present in the United States to stay in America if their home country is hit with disaster. This generally means either an ongoing armed conflict, some form of natural disaster, or another form of extraordinary, temporary unrest that makes it dangerous for individuals to return.
