The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen, allowing 60 days for its beneficiaries to depart voluntarily.
On February 13, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, announced the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen, originally granted due to an ongoing armed conflict threatening the safety of its citizens. The cancellation comes with a 60-day period for beneficiaries to prepare for voluntary departure following the official notification in the Federal Register. This decision marks a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy regarding TPS, as the status had been extended multiple times since its original designation in September 2015.
