The Trump administration scored another coup Thursday in its effort to expel legal immigrants, as the Department of Homeland Security ended temporary legal protections for about 9,000 Nepalese immigrants who have been living in the United States since their homes were decimated by a 2015 earthquake.

On Thursday, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced the department was terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Nepal. Nepalese immigrants in the country under TPS now have to find alternative legal methods to stay in the United States or depart by June 24, 2019.

Following the 2015 earthquake, 15,000 Nepalese residents received TPS and now 9,000 remain in the United States. DHS was required to decide whether to cancel or extend this status 60 days before it expires, which would have been Wednesday. Wednesday was also the three-year anniversary of the earthquake.

“Since the 2015 earthquake, conditions in Nepal have notably improved,” Nielsen said in a statement explaining the decision. “Additionally, since the last review of the country’s conditions in October 2016, Nepal has made substantial progress in post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction.”
