The US State Department rejected President Nasry Asfura's request for a transition period allowing Honduran TPS holders to seek legal counsel and explore alternative immigration pathways before the program's termination.

About 31,000 Hondurans have been deported from the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala between January and August 2026, with 27,828 arriving by air from the US, as the government braces for potential mass returns following the US termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security confirmed on August 18 that all TPS terminations — including for Hondurans — are now in effect after months of court battles, warning holders who remain in the country without status that they will be deported.

The US Department of Homeland Security announced that Temporary Protected Status for Hondurans and 12 other nations has ended, warning beneficiaries to depart voluntarily or face deportation.

Defensores de Honduras called on the government and Congress to treat the end of TPS for Honduran migrants and a nearly 12% electricity rate hike as national emergencies requiring urgent policy responses.
