Amid political unrest, violence in Honduras, TPS holders in U.S. worry about their fate

Eddie Monroy, 27, was born and raised in upstate New York. His parents are Honduran natives who have been living in the U.S. legally for almost two decades thanks to Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, first granted to Hondurans after Hurricane Mitch ravaged the country in the late 1990s.
If the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t extend TPS for Hondurans past July 5th, nearly 60,000 people are at risk of losing it, including his parents. Monroy’s parents would be returning to a country they have not seen in decades and that's facing massive political unrest.
