니카라과에 대한 임시 보호 신분(TPS)

Changes to TPS Nicaragua

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows people from certain countries to stay and work in the U.S. if it is not safe for them to return home due to war, disasters, or other emergencies.

As of December 31, 2025:

• People from Nicaragua with TPS still have this protection.
• Work permits through TPS are still valid.

The decision to end TPS for Nicaragua is still being challenged in court. The case is not finished yet. We do not know what will happen next. Learn how court decisions work.

TPS for Nicaragua has been contested in the courts:

• July 8, 2025: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its decision to end TPS for Nicaragua on September 8, 2025.
• July 31, 2025: A judge blocked the termination of the TPS designation. This decision temporarily stops TPS from ending to allow more time for the court to review the case.
• August 20, 2025: A judge paused a previous court order that stopped TPS from ending. This means that the U.S. government can deport people who have lost TPS status starting September 8, 2025.
• November 18, 2025: During a court hearing, a judge said her initial view is that the government likely acted unlawfully when ending TPS for Nepal. A written order has not been issued yet. If the judge’s final ruling follows her comments, TPS for Nepal could be reinstated.
• December 31, 2025: A judge ruled that the government’s decision to end TPS was unlawful. This means that TPS should be restored.
• January 22, 2026: The next hearing will take place. An appeal is also moving forward and could change the outcome.
