A program established by the US Government in 2001 is set to end. The Programa de Protección Temporal, or TPS, was created after a devastating earthquake hit a Central American country. It allowed certain individuals to work legally with a permit.

One such individual, Soledad Miranda, who arrived in the US in 1997, is now facing the loss of this protection. She had been living as an undocumented person before the TPS gave her the opportunity to work legally. Further details about the impact of the program's end are available from the source.
