Trump Administration Ends TPS for Thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians
April 12, 2025The Trump administration has decided not to renew Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians, setting the stage for potential deportations.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will not extend the TPS for Afghans and Cameroonians, a decision that impacts over 21,000 individuals. This status, which provides temporary relief from deportation and work authorization, was crucial for those fleeing war-torn or disaster-stricken countries. The termination of TPS for Afghans is set for May, while Cameroonians will see their protections end in June, leaving them vulnerable to deportation.
