The Trump administration will require 57,000 Honduran people to return to their home country, after having lived in the U.S. with protected status since a 1999 hurricane, according to a report Friday morning.

The administration will give Hondurans 12 to 18 months to return home, according to McClatchy. Hondurans are the second-largest national group of people who benefit from TPS.

A DHS spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen "has not yet made a decision." But a decision is due by July 6 and the government has yet to formally announce the reported policy change.

Elaine Duke, former acting director of DHS, in November delayed a decision on whether to renew the two-year program.

Instead, the administration announced Hondurans would be given a six-month extension of the Jan. 5, 2018, expiration date as it decides the fate of the program.

Hondurans were permitted to move to the U.S. under the program after Hurricane Mitch destroyed parts of the country in 1999.

Since the fall, DHS has said it will conclude TPS programs for Nepal, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Sudan, Liberia, Haiti, and Honduras. Each of those programs were renewed every two years under former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

However, Nielsen announced an 18-month extension for the TPS program for Syrians, which affects 7,000 people in the U.S.

Approximately 300,000 people have been approved for TPS since Congress created the program in 1990.
