Trump stop the protected status for Afghans and Cameroons

Thousands of Afghans and Cameroons will be stopped in temporary deportation, the US Internal Security Ministry said.

Home Security Minister Christie Noah found the conditions in Afghanistan, and Cameroon no longer deserved the defense of the United States, according to a statement by the Secretary of the DHS Tricia Mclaughlin.

Estimated 14 600 Afghan previously For temporary protective status (TPS) is now planned to lose it in May while some 7 900 Cameroons Lose it in June.

On the same day, the US judge ruled that the Trump administration could deport university graduates last month because of his role in protests.

TPS is provided to citizens of appointed countries that face conditions such as armed conflicts or environmental disasters, making it dangerous for returning home.

The status usually lasts up to 18 months, can be updated by the Interior Security Minister and offers deportation protection and access to work permits.

According to McLaflin, in September 2023, the then Secretary Security Secretary Alejandra Malarkas announced that the TPS for Afghans would be extended for 18 months to May 20 this year.

But on March 21, having consulted with the US government agencies, NOEM “determined that Afghanistan no longer continues to meet the statutory requirements for TPS’s appointment, and so she stopped TPS for Afghanistan,” McLaflin said.

She added that the NOEM decision was based on considering the US Citizenship and Immigration Conditions (USCIS) in Afghanistan, where the Taliban is controlled almost four years ago.

A similar decision that stopped Cameroon’s designation on TPS was made on April 7, McLaflin said.

Last month, the Trump administration stated that the temporary legal status of more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua and Venezuela have been recalled.

They were brought to the United States as part of Baden’s sponsorship process, known as CNV, which Trump dismissed after he took office.

More than 120 700 Venezuelans, 110 900 Cubans and more than 93,000 Nicaraguan were admitted to the US as part of the program before it was closed.

According to the Federal Government’s message, which ordered to leave, were warned to do so ahead of permits and defense deportation ending at the end of this month, on April 24.

But these are not just the people who have provided TPS who have suffered from changes in immigration rules in the United States.

Shukria – not her real name – lives in Washington. She arrived in the US last January with her family. They escaped in Afghanistan and moved a long way to the US in 11 countries, seeking to qualify for asylum.

“The fear of deportation has deeply influenced my mental and physical health. I can hardly sleep, my feet hurt, and I constantly cry with fear and anxiety,” she said BBC.

Shukria, which is pregnant for seven months, received an electronic message – saw the BBC – April 10 from the Internal Security Department, which proclaimed: “Time to leave the United States.”

Added: “If it doesn’t end earlier, your parole stop seven days from the date of this message.

“If you do not immediately go from the US, you will obey potential law enforcement.”

The Internal Security Department website has information for Afghan citizens on how to apply for an extension to stay in the US now that the programs previously guarded by Afghans are changing.

While young children make noise, from their age, her and her husband can be more complicated.

“My parole was granted to the humanitarian program, and the shelter is still being considered,” Shukria said.

“I don’t know what steps you need to take now, and I’m very afraid what will happen to me and my family.”

Immigration, in particular, mass deportation, was the main attention of Trump’s election campaign – and dominated politics since he has taken office.

Earlier this year, the data received by Reuters showed that in the first month of work in office, US deported 37 660 people – Less than average monthly on average 57,000 costs and return to the last full year of Biden Administration.

The Trump administration continued to withdraw the visas of hundreds of foreign students, trying to dwell on proletinian protests on campus across the United States.

On Friday, the US immigration court rule was that Trump’s administration could deport Mahmoud Khalila, a permanent US resident, which has been held in the Louisiana detention center since March 8.

In a letter written from the object, he stated that his “arrest was a direct consequence” to advocate for Palestinian rights.

Nom, praising the decision on social media, said that “the privilege to grant a visa or green card to live and study” in the US, and that “if you advocate violence, glorify and support terrorists who enjoy the killing of Americans and persecute Jews that the privilege should be withdrawn.”

“Good deprivation,” she added.

The lawyer D -Khalil said his team would fight for “the client’s right to oppose what is happening in the US.”
