1. THREAD: My brilliant friend Maribel from law school asked me to share her personal story about how Trump’s heartless decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans will affect her husband and her family. 
2. Maribel wants people to understand the human consequences of this administration's immigration policy decisions. This horrific decision barely registered given all the other noise. PLEASE help their story break thru so people pay attention. The following are Maribel’s words:
3. “Under Trump, 9,000 Nepalese, 200,000 Salvadorans, 57,000 Hondurans, 45,000 Haitians, and 2,500 Nicaraguans have lost TPS and have been told to get ready to leave the country. And nearly 690,000 DACA holders remain in limbo as their status is decided by the courts.”
4. “My husband (Giddel) has been in the United States for 23 years (more than half his life) and has had Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 19 of those years, since 1999.”
5. “Giddel came here when he was 18, risking his life, riding on top of the train La Bestia. He has a US citizen 11-year-old daughter, has been married to me a US citizen for 7 years (and we have been together for 9), works as a chef, and pays taxes.”
6. “And yet, with yesterdays decision by the federal government to end TPS for Honduras, he could be facing deportation come January 5, 2020.” dhs.gov/news/2018/05/0…
7/x. “Giddel, I stand with you and will always be by your side. You are not alone. We will fight till the end. Let our love be our guide.” #WeStandwGiddel #LoveWins
