Significance
The decision comes amid tough anti-immigration rhetoric by the administration of US President Donald Trump and follows announcements in October and November that TPS would be cancelled for Nicaragua and Haiti, raising the prospect of thousands of migrants having to return to their countries of origin.
Impacts
Cuts in US aid will weigh on efforts by TPS countries to prepare for their returning nationals.
Haitian requests for international aid may be complicated by recent corruption scandals.
Nicaragua’s TPS termination may signal increased political pressure following November’s controversial elections.
