Trump officials disregarded warnings not to revoke protections for immigrants: report

Top Trump administration officials reportedly ignored the advice of senior American diplomats not to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans and Haitians living in the U.S.

The warnings, transmitted in a series of diplomatic cables to top State Department officials last year, conveyed that ending the immigrants' temporary residency and deporting them could destabilize the region, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Senate Democrats are investigating the cables, and recently referred their findings to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Post reported.

Despite the warnings from senior diplomats, then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson joined other top Trump administration officials in pressing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to end the immigrants' protected status.

According to the Post, the Trump administration has so far canceled TPS for 195,000 Salvadorans, 46,000 Haitians and, most recently, 57,000 Hondurans. Some 273,000 U.S.-born children have parents from those countries covered under TPS.
