US extends protection for 6 nations' migrants for a year

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Friday it is extending temporary protected status coverage for migrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sudan through Jan. 4, 2021. The status, which has been granted because of disasters or conflicts in those countries, had been set to expire in January 2020, or in Nepal's case, March. Trump administration has been trying to end TPS for those countries since 2018, but that move has been tied up by court appeals.
