DHS Terminates Temporary Protected Status for Afghans Amid Ongoing Fears of Deportation

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghan nationals, a decision that has generated widespread concern among many Afghans living in the U.S. Many fear for their safety, citing threats of torture or death if deported back to Afghanistan, particularly among those who fled the Taliban. The move has sparked significant backlash, with immigrant rights groups planning lawsuits against the administration. Afghan refugees, some of whom are currently in limbo in other countries like Qatar, express feeling betrayed and uncertain about their future. The news reflects a larger shift in immigration policy that has left countless Afghan families facing dire choices without clear alternatives.
