Trump Administration Ending TPS for Afghans
The Trump administration is ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Afghans living in the U.S., leading to fear and uncertainty among those who fled persecution in Afghanistan. Despite claims of improved security, advocates argue that the situation in Afghanistan remains dangerous, especially for those who assisted the U.S. The termination of TPS and humanitarian parole, along with a new travel ban, are seen as efforts to deport Afghans and restrict future immigration.
