JAKARTA - The US Department of Homeland Security will stop deportation protection for thousands of Honduras and Nicaraguaans in the US.

This is part of President Donald Trump's broad efforts to revoke the legal status of migrants. The effective suspension on September 6, will end the Temporary Protection Status for some 72,000 Honduras and 4,000 Nicaraguaans who have had access to legal status since 1999, according to a notice posted online on Monday, July 7, reported by Reuters.

Trump, a Republican, is seeking to end the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of migrants in the US, including some who have lived and worked there legally for decades.

The Trump administration believes deportation protection has been overused in the past and that many immigrants no longer deserve protection.

Democrats and advocates say migrants can be forced to return to dangerous conditions and that US employers depend on their labor.

During his 2017-2021 presidential term, Trump sought to end most of TPS registrations, including appointments that include Honduras and Nicaragua, but were blocked by federal courts.
