The Trump administration has revoked protections that shielded Afghans and Cameroonians from deportation, declaring conditions in their home countries no longer warrant the status.
The Trump administration has ended temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians living in the United States.
Roughly 14,600 Afghans will lose their Temporary Protected Status in May, while around 7,900 Cameroonians will see theirs end in June.
The Temporary Protected Status program allows migrants to stay legally in the U.S. if their home countries face conflict or natural disasters, providing protection from deportation and access to work permits. The status typically lasts between 6 to 18 months and can be extended by the Homeland Security secretary.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem determined that conditions in Afghanistan and Cameroon no longer justified the protected status.
During his previous term, U.S. President Donald Trump attempted to terminate most Temporary Protected Status enrollments but was blocked by federal courts.
