The United States Secretary of Homeland Security announced that immigrants currently holding Temporary Protected Status must apply for permanent residency or prepare to leave the country. He firmly emphasized that this specific humanitarian program was always intended to be temporary, not a permanent immigration solution.
This crucial policy shift follows a controversial Supreme Court ruling that allows the administration to revoke these protections for citizens of certain countries. The American government has offered to facilitate voluntary departures by providing airline tickets and small financial resettlement assistance to those choosing to return home.
A significant number of Afghan citizens who fled after the collapse of the previous government rely heavily on these temporary programs. Currently, many of these Afghan migrants face deep uncertainty regarding their legal status and experience prolonged delays in their ongoing immigration cases.
