Homeland Security published notice in the Federal Register that the designation of Cameroon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will terminate on Aug. 4, 2025.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Cameroon was initially designated for TPS on June 7, 2022, for a period of 18 months, based on continued armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in the country that prevented nationals of Cameroon from returning in safety. Following the initial designation, DHS extended and redesignated Cameroon for TPS for 18 months, beginning on Dec. 8, 2023, and ending on June 7, 2025, based on ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions.
DHS determined that “while certain conditions that led to the initial designation of TPS for Cameroon may continue, they do not pose a serious threat to individual safety due to ongoing armed conflict and do not result in Cameroonians being unable to safely return.” The termination notice can be viewed here.
The termination of the designation is subject to litigation. BAL will continue to monitor this litigation and related cases.
