Diaz-Balart Applauds TPS Extension to Nicaraguans and Hondurans Living in the US

April 5, 2013

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement following the extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible nationals of both Nicaragua and Honduras for an additional 18 months.

“The recent decision to extend TPS to Nicaraguans and Hondurans will bring relief to the countless individuals of both countries who have sought refuge in the United States. I encourage those who are eligible to begin the application process. TPS was created as a safe haven for foreign nationals, and I am glad that we can continue to provide that environment for Nicaraguans and Hondurans.”
