US expulsion threatens for 57,000 Hondurans

The Trump government wants to put an end to the temporary protection of Honduran immigrants in the US.

It would be the last in a series of decisions by Trump to lift the temporarily protected status (TPS) of incoming refugees. It was awarded to victims of natural disasters, such as the devastating hurricane Mitch in 1999, or violent conflicts that make a safe return to their homeland impossible.

Returning tens of thousands of compatriots means major problems, says the Honduran ambassador to the US Marlon Tabora. 'These families have been living in the United States for 20 years. Re-integration will be very difficult. '

Trump recently showed his aversion to the 'caravan' migrants, predominantly from Central America, who crossed Mexico to the US border in the hope of reaching San Diego. Most of them say they have fled violence and political unrest at home. They want to qualify for asylum in the US.
