The administration of Donald Trump has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for citizens of Yemen residing in the United States, a decision expected to impact thousands of Yemeni beneficiaries.
Temporary Protected Status allows nationals from countries affected by armed conflict, natural disasters, or extraordinary humanitarian conditions to live and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation is periodically reviewed and can be extended or terminated based on assessments of conditions in the country of origin.
The move has sparked mixed reactions, with human rights organizations expressing concern about the potential consequences for Yemeni nationals amid ongoing humanitarian and security challenges in Yemen, while supporters argue the decision aligns with stricter immigration policies.
Affected individuals are expected to face limited legal options, including seeking alternative immigration pathways or preparing to leave the country within the transition period set by US authorities
