US EditionDHS sued over lifting deportation protections for Afghans, Cameroonians
- CASA filed a lawsuit in May 2025 against the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Kristi Noem challenging the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Afghan and Cameroonian nationals.
- The lawsuit arose because DHS announced TPS terminations with less than the legally required 60-day notice for both groups in April 2025.
- TPS offers temporary protection to migrants from countries facing dangers like war, with over 10,000 Afghans and Cameroonians currently covered by this status in the U.S.
- TPS for Afghans will end May 20 and for Cameroonians June 7, despite the State Department’s Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisory for Afghanistan and Level 2 caution for Cameroon.
- The lawsuit could delay TPS termination, reflecting confusion and concern among beneficiaries, with CASA’s counsel stating the case aims to protect those who should not be forced to return.
