(The Post News)– The President Donald Trump administration is terminating temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians. Around 14,600 Afghans will lose their protected status in May, while approximately 7,900 Cameroonians will lose theirs in June, due to improved conditions in their home countries.
The US Department of Homeland Security is revoking temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians. Approximately 14,600 Afghans will lose their protected status in May, while around 7,900 Cameroonians will lose theirs in June.
Additionally, more than half a million migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, who were allowed into the US under a sponsorship program, will also lose their protections. Many of these individuals are experiencing extreme anxiety and fear of deportation. A seven-month pregnant Afghan asylum seeker, Shukriah, received a notice from the Department of Homeland Security stating she must leave the US within seven days or face potential law enforcement action.
This decision has sparked fear and uncertainty for Shukriah and her family. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been cracking down on immigration, revoking temporary protections for Afghans and Cameroonians, and deporting thousands of people. The administration has also targeted international students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, revoking visas and pursuing deportation for some individuals, including a permanent legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil.
