As nearly 12,000 Afghans in the U.S. are set to lose temporary protections, the Trump administration’s move to expand deportations is raising concerns. The termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghan individuals has sparked debates on safety and honoring their service alongside U.S. forces. Advocates urge Congress for permanent status, citing long-overdue commitments. The Trump administration’s stricter approach towards TPS impacts individuals from multiple countries, including Venezuela and Haiti. Legal challenges against TPS revocation for Afghans and Cameroonians are ongoing, highlighting the precarious nature of temporary protections.
