  • Temporary Protected Status for Guatemalans
    Guatemala Human Rights Commission / USA Fact Sheet Temporary Protected Status for Guatemalans Guatemalans are in urgent need of TPS due to the recent natural disasters in their home country. The economic and environmental damage has been devastating and Guatemalans living and working in the U.S. should not be forced to return to a disaster-stricken area. Additionally, families depend on financial support from their relatives in the U.S.; TPS would support the continued reconstruction of the devastation caused by tropical storms, intense rains, and volcanic activity. What is TPS? Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a benefit granted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that permits individuals from selected countries to remain in the United States for a certain amount of time, regardless of previous immigration status. Grants of TPS are initially made for periods of 6 to 18 months and may be extended depending on the situation. Removal proceedings are suspended for those granted TPS. DHS may grant TPS to countries due to: If granted TPS, individuals: Ongoing armed conflicts (such as civil wars) Cannot be removed from the U.S. Environmental disasters (such as hurricanes or Cannot be detained by DHS earthquakes) Can obtain an employment authorization document Other extraordinary or temporary conditions Are eligible for travel authorization TPS does not lead to permanent resident status. After the designated time period has expired, previous immigration status is restored. Pacaya Eruption and Tropical Storms On May 27, 2010, the Pacaya Volcano erupted just south of Guatemala City, forcing 2,000 people to evacuate. This was only the beginning.

Beven II ([email protected]) NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season was quite active, with 19 named storms, 12 of which became hurricanes and 5 of which reached major hurricane intensity. These totals are well above the long-term normals of about 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. Although the 2010 season was considerably busier than normal, no hurricanes struck the United States. This was the most active season on record in the Atlantic that did not have a U.S. landfalling hurricane, and was also the second year in a row without a hurricane striking the U.S. coastline. A persistent trough along the east coast of the United States steered many of the hurricanes out to sea, while ridging over the central United States kept any hurricanes over the western part of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico farther south over Central America and Mexico. The most significant U.S. impacts occurred with Tropical Storm Hermine, which brought hurricane-force wind gusts to south Texas along with extremely heavy rain, six fatalities, and about $240 million dollars of damage. Hurricane Earl was responsible for four deaths along the east coast of the United States due to very large swells, although the center of the hurricane stayed offshore.
