Trump to terminate protective status for Afghans and Camerouni

Thousands of Afghans and Cameroons will end their temporary deportment defenses, the US Department of Homeland Security said.

Interior Security Secretary Christie Nova has found the conditions in Afghanistan and Cameroon no longer deserves the US protection, according to a statement by an assistant DHS Tricia McLAughlin.

Forecast 14,600 Afghans in charge of for temporary protective status (TPS) is now ready to lose it in May while some 7 900 Cameroons He will lose it in June.

He came the same day when the US judge decided that the Trump administration could deport a graduate of the university detained last month because of his role in propalist protests.

TPS is provided to citizens of certain countries to whom the conditions, such as armed conflicts or environmental disasters that make it dangerous to return home.

The status usually lasts up to 18 months, can be renewed by the current secretary of internal security and offers protection of deportation and access to work permits.

According to Mclaughlin, in September 2023, then -Minister of Interior Alejandro Majorcas announced that TPS for Afghans would be extended to 18 months to May 20 this year.

But on March 21, after consulting with US government agencies, NOME “determined that Afghanistan no longer continues to meet the legal requirements for its appointment to the TP, and so it terminated the TP for Afghanistan,” McLaflin said.

She added that the NOEM decision was based on an overview of the United States Civil and Immigration Services (USCIS) of Afghanistan conditions, where the Taliban received control almost four years ago.

A similar decision, which terminates Cameroon's designation for TPS, was taken on April 7, McLaughlin said.

Last month, the Trump administration said it would similarly repeal the temporary legal status of more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua and Venezuela.

They were introduced to the United States in sponsorship of the Biden era, known as Chnv, which Trump stopped after taking office.

More than 120,700 Venezuelans, 110,900 Cubans and over 93,000 Nicaraguans were admitted to the United States under the program before being closed.

Those who are told to leave are warned to do so before their permits and defenses for deportation, expiring later this month, on April 24, according to a notice published by the federal government.

But not only people provide TPs that have been affected by changing US immigration rules.

Shukriah – not her real name – lives in Washington. She arrived in the United States last January with her family. They fled Afghanistan and withstand a long trip to the United States, in 11 countries, in an attempt to seek asylum.

“The fear of deportation has deeply affected my mental and physical health. I can hardly sleep, my legs are experiencing pain and I am constantly crying with fear and anxiety,” she told the BBC.

Shukriah, who is seven months pregnant, received an email – seen by the BBC – on April 10 by the Ministry of Homeland Security, which reads: “It's time to leave the United States.”

He added: “Unless it expires earlier, your conditional release will terminate seven days from the date of this notice.

“If you do not leave the United States immediately, you will be the subject of potential law enforcement actions.”

The Ministry of Internal Security website has information about Afghan citizens on how to apply for extensions to stay in the United States now when the programs that have previously defended Afghans.

While Shukria's young children would be eligible because of their age, her path and path of her husband may be more complicated.

“My conditional release was provided under the humanitarian program and my asylum case is still in anticipation,” Shukria said.

“I do not know what steps to take now and I am very afraid of what will happen to me and my family.”

Immigration, in particular mass deportation, has been a key focus in Trump's election campaign – and has dominated politics since he took office.

Earlier this year, the data obtained from Reuters showed that during their first month back in the office, US deported 37 660 people – less than the average monthly value of 57,000 removal and return in the last full year of Biden's administration.

The Trump administration continued to cancel the visas of hundreds of international students in an attempt to squeeze to propalist protests in university campuses in the United States.

In one such case, a rule of the US Immigration Court was held on Friday that the Trump administration could deport Mahmoud Halil, a permanent legal resident of the United States, held at the Louisiana Retention Center since March 8th.

In a letter written by the facility, he stated that “his arrest is a direct investigation” from a statement about Palestinian rights.

Nom, praising the Social Media decision, said “it is a privilege to provide a visa or green card to live and study in the United States and that” when you stand up for violence, glorification and support of terrorists who enjoy the murder of Americans and harass the Jews, this privilege should be. “

“Good payment,” she added.

The lawyer of G -H Khalil said his team would fight for “his client's right to speak against what is happening in the United States.”
