An appeals court has temporarily extended the temporary protected status (TPS) for nearly 12,000 Afghans in the United States, preventing its expiration. This decision was made after the Trump administration announced plans to terminate legal protections for these individuals. CASA, an immigration advocacy organization, requested an emergency stay, arguing that removing TPS would cause irreparable harm and was discriminatory. The Trump administration must respond to the court's order quickly as this situation involves ongoing legal discussions and advocacy support for Afghan refugees.
The order by the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit temporarily extended temporary protected status (TPS) for nearly 12,000 Afghans in the United States before its expiration.
CASA argued that the Trump administration's move to remove TPS was arbitrary and discriminatory, potentially causing irreparable harm to those affected.
AfghanEvac, led by military veterans, is supporting the legal challenge against the termination of TPS and urges DHS to reverse its decision on protections.
The appeals court has asked both sides to submit briefs this week, while the Trump administration must respond by Wednesday evening.
