On Friday, a spokesperson for the Department for Homeland confirmed the decision, which will affect about 14,600 Afghanistan and 7,900 Camerunoans.
These individuals were able to live in the US under the label called “temporary protected status” or TPS.
The US government usually offers TPS individuals already in the USA for which it can be insecure to return, at least in a short time, due to conflicts, natural disasters or other circumstances.
But Trump Administration tried to interrupt the protection of TPS for more than one nationality from taking in January, as part of a wider shooting on immigration, both legal and otherwise.
In the statement, the Secretary for the homeland of Kristi Noem said that the conditions in Afghanistan and Cameroon no longer met the criteria for TPS.
But critics point out that the fight has been violated in Cameroon between government and separatists since 2017. years.
And in Afghanistan, Taliban controlled the government from the withdrawal of American and Western forces 2021. years. His management was accused of committed widespread abuse of human rights, including the arrest of members of the previous US government and forbade many aspects of public life.
Refugee groups quickly condemned the move. Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, the president of the non-profit world shelter, called the revocation of TPS for Afghan “morally uncultivated issues.” She warned that I could the persecution of facing If he returns to Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan has still accumulated today from the rules of Taliban, economic collapse and humanitarian disaster,” said the statement. “Nothing about that reality has changed.”
While the United States was evacuated by more than 82,000 Afghanista U.S., the vast majority received a temporary “conditional” or other legal statuses based on their direct work with the US government.
However, the end of the TPS would still be influenced by a significant part of that total group. Their TPS status will end in May.
Veteran groups and politicians on both sides of the political spectrum called on several legal tracts for Afghans to seek security in the United States, especially if they worked together with the US troops or the US government.
Meanwhile, American MPs earlier this month called on Trump administration to expand the status for Cameruns, facing civil attacks in their home country. They are now set to lose that protection in June.
“The earth’s security situation deteriorated, in combination with its current humanitarian cries and human rights abuse, the impossible for the suppliers of the Cameroon”, written by lawmakers.
Cameroon saw the conflicts between the Anglophone separatists and the Francophone security forces that resulted in external murder, attacks on civilians and widespread displacement.
The Trump Administration crossed several ways to remain temporarily in the US, claiming that “returning the rule of law”.
But many of the moves target the categories of immigration established under the Trump’s predecessor and political rival, former President Joe Biden.
Trump also tried to continue the “mass deportation” campaign during his second term. Removing legal protection against immigrants allows the government to potentially remove them from the country.
This is not the first time Trump targeted TPS. During the first term, since 2017. until 2021. years, he tried to complete most of the TPS enrollment, but was recorded by federal courts.
During his second mandate, Trump reappeared on a similar push. In February, he wanted to be downloaded nearly 300,000 Venezuelacers of his TPS.
But at the end of March, the U.S. District Judge blocked his attempt, saying that the characterization of migrants of his government as a criminal “tangles”.
Trump also has Moved to Nix The program of the humanitarian parallel parallel approved by legal status to more than 500,000 Haitians, Venezuelans, Cubans and Nicaraguna under Bid.
On Thursday, however, the Federal Judge blocked Trump to complete the program, which would remove almost half a million people of their legal status.
