The U.S. has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan, potentially leading to the deportation of over 9,000 Afghans currently residing in the country, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem stated that the administration is returning the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to its original temporary purpose. Noem emphasized that the security situation in Afghanistan has improved, and the country’s stabilizing economy no longer necessitates the continued stay of these individuals in the U.S.
TPS is a humanitarian program that provides temporary legal status and work authorization to nationals of countries facing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary conditions that make it unsafe for them to return. Afghanistan began benefiting from this program in 2021, following the U.S. withdrawal and the Taliban’s takeover of the country.
