The United States has ended federal protections shielding thousands of migrants from Nicaragua and Honduras from deportation, angering immigration and civil rights advocacy groups.

The decision by the Homeland Security Department to end protections for migrants from those countries goes into effect in about two months.

The Trump administration has ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 52,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans, citing recovery from 1998’s Hurricane Mitch. DHS says conditions are now safe for return.
