The Department of Homeland Security announced it is terminating the designation of Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) effective July 14, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: DHS previously announced in September 2023 that it had extended the redesignation of Afghanistan for TPS from Nov. 21, 2023, to May 20, 2025. DHS estimates that approximately 11,700 Afghan nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Afghanistan) hold TPS under Afghanistan’s designation.
The termination of the designation is subject to litigation. BAL will continue to monitor this litigation and related cases.
This alert has been provided by the BAL U.S. Practice Group.
