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.
