Overview

• New York City joined 12 other jurisdictions, led by Los Angeles County, in filing an amicus brief in National TPS Alliance v. Noem to block the Department of Homeland Security’s planned terminations.
• TPS protections for about 7,200 Nepali nationals are set to expire on Aug. 5, followed by nearly 54,000 Honduran and Nicaraguan nationals on Sept. 8.
• The brief warns that the loss of Honduran TPS workers alone would shave $270.3 million from New York’s annual GDP and eliminate $126 million in local tax contributions.
• It emphasizes that most TPS holders have formed families, purchased homes and operated businesses over years or decades, embedding themselves in local economies.
• Arguments are scheduled for Tuesday before a federal court in San Francisco, where the coalition will seek to postpone the terminations.
