En la ofensiva contra la inmigración del Gobierno de Donald Trump, el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, por sus siglas en inglés) ha sido uno de los objetivos de la Casa Blanca. Mientras que los venezolanos con TPS se mantienen desprotegidos y en el limbo de una larga batalla legal, los nicaragüenses, hondureños y nepalíes con esta protección parecen haber llegado al mismo punto de incertidumbre tras un nuevo fallo de un tribunal federal.

La Corte de Apelaciones del Noveno Circuito de Estados Unidos suspendió el lunes un fallo judicial previo que había determinado que poner a fin al TPS para Honduras, Nicaragua y Nepal era ilegal. Con esta decisión, la corte federal permite que entren vigor las terminaciones del TPS para estos países.

Según la Alianza Nacional del TPS —grupo de defensa que desde julio de 2025 representa legalmente a inmigrantes de Honduras, Nicaragua y Nepal con TPS en su caso contra el Gobierno de Estados Unidos—, este nuevo fallo de la corte de apelaciones pone en riesgo a más de 60.000 personas de esos tres países, pues ya no cuentan con las protecciones contra la deportación y los beneficios de empleo que otorga un TPS.

La decisión “pone en riesgo inmediato de deportación a miles de personas que han cumplido con todo lo que se les ha pedido”, dijo José Palma, coordinador de la Alianza Nacional del TPS —que es el demandante principal en el caso—, en un comunicado.

Palma añadió que algunas de las personas que ahora quedan sin TPS han cumplido cada requisito legal y se han convertido en parte de su comunidad al vivir en EE.UU. desde hace décadas.

“Son personas que este país reconoció como héroes durante la pandemia de covid: trabajadores de salud, cuidado infantil y otros proveedores esenciales en la primera línea. El Congreso debe actuar ahora”, pidió Palma en su declaración.

Palma explicó en un video en redes sociales que la batalla judicial sobre el TPS para hondureños, nicaragüenses y nepalíes continuará, y dijo que próximamente la Alianza dará a conocer los pasos a seguir.

“Hoy por hoy hay que mantener la calma (…) Hay que mantenernos unidos y solamente juntos vamos a triunfar porque solamente el pueblo salva al pueblo”, comentó Palma.

“Y también hay que organizarse. Tenemos que convencer al Congreso que quitarle la protección de TPS a personas que han estado protegidas por décadas no ayuda a nadie, ni a las familias con TPS, ni a los países donde vivimos ni tampoco a la economía de Estados Unidos”, recalcó el coordinador de la Alianza Nacional del TPS.

Mientras se desarrolla la batalla judicial, casos como el de Jhony Silva quedan a la deriva.

Silva es uno de los demandantes del caso desde que inició en julio del año pasado. Se trata de un inmigrante hondureño de 29 años que llegó a EE.UU. cuando tenía 3 años y a partir de entonces ha podido vivir en el país de forma legal.

Según la demanda contra el Gobierno de Trump, Silva vive en Hayward, California, y trabaja como asistente de enfermería certificado en la unidad de cardiología de un hospital.

La demanda menciona que Silva tiene un hijo ciudadano estadounidense nacido en 2016 que tiene necesidades especiales tras ser diagnosticado con autismo.

(CNN) — Newly unsealed court documents reveal that longtime skeptics of the 2020 election results played a key role in the sweeping search warrant the FBI obtained to seize ballots and other materials from Fulton County, Georgia — a major target of President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn his defeat.

The FBI’s investigation “originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity,” according to an affidavit that the FBI filed with a search warrant application that was made public on Tuesday.

Before his current role, Olsen was involved in the legal efforts to reverse Trump’s 2020 defeat to Joe Biden.

The affidavit is built around allegations of election fraud that have long circulated in far-right circles. The warrant application leaned on theories of missing ballot images or other alleged discrepancies in the count that have previously been touted by conservative researchers, some with only limited experience in election administration.

Notably, it does not describe any claims of foreign interference; the absence of such evidence will likely raise further questions about the presence of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the search.

The FBI’s affidavit said that it needed to seize the ballots to “corroborate the analysis that evinces that election records were destroyed and or the tabulation of votes included materially false votes, either through duplicated scanning of specific ballots, interjection of pristine ballots, or other methods described above.”

Georgia election officials have repeatedly attested to the integrity of Georgia’s 2020 election, which was vetted with an audit and a hand recount. Some of the alleged “deficiencies or defects” in the count that the FBI is now probing appear to be the result of administrative error that has already been scrutinized and found to have not affected the results of the presidential race.

Among the FBI’s witnesses in the current probe was a Georgia resident and chemical engineer who filed a 2022 complaint with the State Board of Elections alleging that “extra” ballots were injected into the absentee ballot count. Other witnesses include Republican-appointed, Trump-aligned members of the Georgia State Board of Elections who described missing ballot images in Fulton County’s records. The affidavit also lays out concerns about missing tabulator tape — which is a recording from each voting machine of the vote tally once that machine is closed.

However, the FBI affidavit also characterizes assertions by Georgia election officials who cast doubt that the alleged discrepancies amounted to a flawed final count. For instance, former Georgia Election Director Chris Harvey, a witness described in the affidavit, “said during the hand count, they did not audit for issues like image discrepancies” and that, during an audit, the “concern is less about the images and more about the ballots and voter count.”

Likewise, a former investigator for the Georgia Secretary of State’s offices said, according to the affidavit, that tabulator tapes were not relevant to the recount Georgia undertook that confirmed 2020 results, since the underlying ballots were what ultimately mattered in the recount.

The affidavit was unsealed as part of a lawsuit Fulton County officials have filed seeking the return of the ballot materials. The FBI says it’s investigating violations of a law requiring that election officials retain materials for 22 months after an election, as well as another law that criminalizes the false tabulation of ballots.

The FBI’s seizure of 2020 election materials in Georgia – along with the president’s recent calls to “nationalize” voting – has fueled
