U.S. Revokes TPS for Afghans, Thousands at Risk of Deportation On May 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it would terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghan nationals effective July 14, 2025. This decision puts approximately 9,000 to 12,000 Afghan nationals in the U.S. at immediate risk of deportation. (rferl.org) DHS Justification Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that conditions in Afghanistan had “improved enough” that TPS was no longer necessary. She also cited alleged threats to public safety posed by some TPS recipients as justification for the termination, arguing it aligned with U.S. national interests. (dhs.gov) Criticism and Human Rights Concerns Human rights organizations and Afghan community leaders strongly criticized the decision, arguing that it ignores the ongoing humanitarian and security crisis under Taliban rule. Vulnerable groups—such as former government officials, women, journalists, and religious minorities—face serious threats in Afghanistan. Many Afghans sought refuge in the U.S. after the 2021 U.S. withdrawal and fear persecution or death if forced to return. (theguardian.com) Legal Challenges and Political Reactions The decision has been legally challenged. One organization, CASA, Inc., filed a lawsuit claiming that the move violated due process and was rooted in discriminatory intent. Over 100 Democratic members of Congress also sent a letter to DHS and the State Department urging the reinstatement of TPS, citing risks to women and children and the Taliban’s abuses. (reuters.com) Transition Period & Employer Obligations A 60-day transition period was granted to Afghan TPS holders. Work permits were automatically extended through July 14, 2025. After that date, individuals must apply for another legal status to remain in the U.S. Employers are advised to verify the employment authorization status of Afghan employees and update their records accordingly. (fragomen.com) Final Note This policy shift has sparked intense debate over the U.S.’s humanitarian responsibilities and the risks faced by Afghan nationals. Advocacy groups continue to call for a reversal or the creation of alternative protections.
