As the federal government moves to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua and Honduras, thousands of families across the U.S. face deep uncertainty. For many, TPS has allowed them to live and work legally — supporting their families and building lives over decades.
Organizations like the National TPS Alliance are urging Congress to take action before protections are lost. They’re warning about consequences — not just for the recipients, but for their U.S. born children.
“Family separation is already happening, and that’s the most terrible part,” said Mardoel Hernández, member of the National TPS Alliance. “Some of these children will have to make the decision to follow their parents to a country they don’t know. That is truly heartbreaking.”
With the clock ticking, advocates say the time for temporary solutions is over. They’re calling on lawmakers to pass legislation that ensures stability and keeps families together.
