"The Republicans should look at how they won in 2024. But it seems like they are disregarding all the realities and laws and trying to push through their anti-immigrant agenda by force, he said. Several Yemeni community leaders, particularly in Michigan, were outspoken supporters of Trump in the 2024 election. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last week revoked TPS for Yemen, which shielded eligible Yemenis in the US from deportation due to the dangerous conditions in their homeland."
"Trump had listed Yemen in a travel ban he imposed last year and tightened immigration restrictions on the country. But rescinding TPS was especially jarring for many in the community because beneficiaries of the status are already in the US, and it may not be safe for them to return to Yemen. According to DHS, a country may be designated for TPS due to conditions that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely. Such conditions include political unrest, war, humanitarian crises and natural disasters."
Amer Ghalib described the US decision to end deportation protection for Yemenis as very unfortunate. Walid Fidama, a former Democrat who backed Trump in 2024 over Gaza and Arab American marginalisation, says the president's immigration crackdown and TPS revocation betray supporters. Fidama argues Republican leaders are ignoring legal and political realities while pursuing an anti-immigrant agenda. DHS revoked Temporary Protected Status for Yemen, removing deportation shielding for eligible Yemenis due to dangerous homeland conditions. The decision is jarring for communities because many beneficiaries are already in the US and may face unsafe returns to Yemen.
