End of TPS for many New Yorkers
Giddel Contreras and his wife Maribel Hernandez Rivera are planning for the worst. Contreras is a Honduran national whose future is unknown. In 1998, Contreras obtained Temporary Protected Status, also known as TPS. Honduras had suffered a natural disaster that year so the U.S. government granted TPS to Hondurans allowing them to remain in the U.S. legally.
