A recent appeals court ruling preserves Temporary Protected Status for nearly 12,000 Afghans in the U.S., preventing their imminent deportation. The Department of Homeland Security announced plans to end TPS, impacting those who had worked for U.S. military forces. CASA, an immigrant advocacy group, initiated legal action against this decision. Despite a federal judge not granting CASA's request to maintain protections, the appeals court issued a stay while it reviews the situation. Many advocates believe it is unsafe for Afghans to return to their home country given the conditions under Taliban rule.
"Since so many of those losing their protections served alongside U.S. forces, we should honor that service by ensuring their safety and continued residence in the U.S."
"The Department of Homeland Security in May said it was ending Temporary Protected Status for 11,700 people from Afghanistan in 60 days, impacting their ability to work and remain in the U.S."
