Trump to end the protected situation of Afghans and Cameroon

The US Department of Internal Security said that thousands of Afghans and Cameroon will get temporary deportation protection.

The Minister of Internal Security Christie Nom has found that the circumstances in Afghanistan and Cameroon no longer deserve American protection, according to a statement issued by the Minister of National circles, Tricia McLeulin.

Estimate 14600 Afghans previously qualified For the temporary protected situation (TPS), he was now appointed to inspect it in May, while some 7900 Cameron He will lose it in June.

It comes on the same day as the United States judge spent that the Trump administration can deport the university graduate, last month because of his role in the pro -Palestinians protests.

TPS is granted to the citizens of the designated countries facing circumstances, such as armed conflict or environmental disasters, which makes them unsafe to return home.

The situation usually lasts for up to 18 months, and it can be renewed by the current Minister of Internal Security, and provides deportation protection and access to work permits.

According to MCLAGHLIN, in September 2023, then Alejandro Mayorkas announced that TPS for Afghans will be extended by 18 months until May 20 of this year.

But on March 21, after consulting with the US government agencies, Nayywan decided that “Afghanistan no longer continues to fulfill the legal requirements for the appointment of TPS, so it has ended TPS for Afghanistan.”

She added that Naweeem’s decision was based on a review of citizenship and immigration services in the United States (USCIS) for the conditions in Afghanistan, where the Taliban re -controlled nearly four years ago.

McLeulin said a similar decision ends the Cameroon name for TPS on April 7.

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

They were brought to the United States under a care process during the Biden era known as Chnv, which Trump hung after taking office.

More than 120,700 Venezuelan, 110,900 Cuban and more than 93,000 Nicaragua were allowed to enter the United States under the program before closing it.

Those who were informed of the departure were warned of doing so before their permits ended and the protection that ends later this month, on April 24, according to a notice published by the federal government.

But not only people who were granted TPS who were affected by the changing rules of the United States.

Shukreh – not her real name – lives in Washington, DC. She arrived in the United States in January last year with her family. They fled from Afghanistan and held a long trip to the United States, across 11 countries, in an attempt to demand asylum.

“The fear of deporting deeply affected my mental and physical health. I can hardly sleep, my legs, and I constantly cry of fear and anxiety,” she told the BBC.

Shukrih, a seven -month holder, received an email – BBC – on April 10 from the Ministry of Internal Security, who read: “It is time for the United States to leave.”

He added: “Unless it ends soon, the conditional release will end for seven days from the date of this notice.

“If the United States does not leave immediately, it will undergo potential law enforcement operations.”

The Ministry of Internal Security website contains information for Afghan citizens about how to apply for extensions to stay in the United States now, as programs that were previously protected Afghan have been changed.

While the children of the young Shukaria will all be eligible, because of their age, she and her husband’s path may be more complicated.

“My conditional release has been granted within the framework of the humanitarian program, and my asylum issue is still pending,” Shakraya said.

“I don’t know what steps should be taken now, and I am very afraid of what will happen to me and my family.”

Immigration, especially mass deportation, was a major focus in the Trump election campaign – and has dominated politics since he took office.

Earlier this year, the data obtained by Reuters showed that in his first month in his post, The United States deported 37,660 people Less than the monthly average of 57,000 removal and return operations in the last full year of the Biden Administration.

The Trump administration continued to cancel the visas of hundreds of international students in an attempt to eliminate the pro -Palestinians in universities throughout the United States.

One of these cases witnessed a ruling in the US Migration Court on Friday that the Trump administration could deport Mahmoud Khalil, the permanent legal resident of the United States, who was detained at the Louisiana detention center since March 8.

In a written letter from the facility, he said that “his detention was a direct result” to talk about Palestinian rights.

“It is an honor for me to be granted a visa or a green card to live and study” in the United States, and that “when you defend violence, glorify and support terrorists who tend to kill Americans and harass the Jews, this privilege must be nullified.”

She added: “Good mockery.”

Mr. Khalil’s lawyer said that his team will fight for “the right of his client to speak publicly about what is happening in the United States.”
