Washington, United States: A US appeals court on Monday opened the door for deportations of migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua with legal protections to live in the United States.
The Trump administration moved last year to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for tens of thousands of Honduran, Nepalese and Nicaraguan nationals, which had allowed them to live in the United States.
A federal judge had vacated the order, but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order Monday to allow the government to proceed with deportations while appealing that decision.
TPS allows narrow groups of people to live and work in the US if they're deemed to be in danger if they return to their home countries, because of war, natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances.
The previous court's "order vacating the termination of TPS for Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua is stayed pending appeal," Monday's decision read.
