Thousands of Afghans in the U.S. lost Temporary Protected Status following a court ruling against its extension. The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined there was not enough evidence to delay the Trump administration's decision to end TPS, which had protected 11,700 individuals. CASA, a nonprofit, challenged the revocation but was denied an interim extension. With TPS expired, affected individuals must choose between returning to potentially dangerous conditions in Afghanistan or staying in the U.S. without legal protections, incurring severe consequences.
Thousands of Afghans in the U.S. are no longer protected from deportation after a federal appeals court refused to postpone the Trump administration's decision to end their legal status.
The Department of Homeland Security in May said it was ending Temporary Protected Status for 11,700 people from Afghanistan in 60 days.
Without an extension, TPS holders from Afghanistan and Cameroon face a devastating choice of abandoning their homes or remaining in a state of legal uncertainty.
A federal judge allowed the lawsuit to go forward but didn't grant CASA's request to keep the protections in place while the lawsuit plays out.
