On March 12, 2019 the termination of Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Nepal and Honduras has been temporarily stayed by a federal district court in California in the Bhattarai v. Nielsen case.
TPS for Nepal was scheduled to expire on June 24, 2019 while TPS for Honduras was set to expire on January 5, 2020. This Court order is linked to the preliminary injunction in the Ramos v. Nielsen case, in which the Department of Homeland Security was ordered to continue TPS for El Salvador, Haiti, Sudan, and Nicaragua.
TPS now temporarily remains in place for all of the six countries that received termination decisions by the Trump administration: Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, El Salvador, Nepal, and Honduras.
