San Francisco Passes Resolution Supporting TPS Holders as Sept. 8 Terminations Near

Local officials escalate legal and political pressure after an appellate ruling set expirations for TPS holders from Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal.

Overview

  • The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday for a non-binding measure urging California’s congressional delegation to seek a permanent pathway for TPS holders.
  • A City Hall rally drew five supervisors, labor organizers and immigrants, with speakers denouncing the Trump administration’s plan to end protections.
  • The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed terminations to proceed, producing an Aug. 5 lapse for roughly 7,000 Nepalis and a Sept. 8 cutoff for about 51,000 Hondurans and 3,000 Nicaraguans, according to NPR.
  • City Attorney David Chiu said his office filed July 29 amicus briefs warning of irreparable harm to communities and vowed continued support for immigrant residents.
  • Individual TPS holders now face job loss and deportation risk, including a longtime Honduran nurse in San Francisco whose work authorization ends Sept. 8.
