The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals of 12 countries, leaving affected migrants at risk of deportation if they remain in the country without another lawful immigration status.
The countries affected are Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cameroon, South Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nepal and Burma (Myanmar).
DHS issued the warning on August 14, stating that individuals whose TPS protections have ended should leave the United States or face possible removal proceedings.
The termination affects nationals from four continents whose countries had previously been granted TPS because of armed conflicts, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions that made returning home unsafe.
DHS Defends TPS Terminations
The Trump administration has argued that TPS was designed as a temporary measure rather than a permanent pathway to remain in the United States.
DHS said TPS should end when conditions in a designated country improve sufficiently to allow nationals to return safely.
However, immigration advocates and rights groups have disputed some of the government's assessments, particularly regarding countries such as Somalia, where security concerns remain.
Those who have lost TPS protection may now be considered unlawfully present unless they hold another valid immigration status or qualify for another form of protection.
The latest move is among the broadest simultaneous terminations of TPS protections in recent years and could affect thousands of migrants living in the United States.
The development comes amid a wider immigration crackdown by the US administration, including increased enforcement against foreign nationals with expired visas at airports and other entry points.
