Trump administration ends temporary protected status for Yemen
DHS ended TPS for 1,380 Yemenis citing national security and legal criteria; those without lawful status must leave within 60 days or face deportation and possible permanent ban.
- On Feb 13, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for Yemen, citing it was against the U.S. 'national interest'.
- DHS said it reviewed conditions in Yemen and consulted U.S. government agencies before concluding the country no longer meets TPS legal requirements, reflecting the administration's effort to restore TPS to its temporary intent while prioritizing national security.
- Yemeni nationals with no other lawful basis have 60 days to leave or face arrest and deportation, and officials urged use of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection app offering a complimentary plane ticket and a $2,600 exit bonus to 'self-deport'.
- Around 1,380 beneficiaries stand to lose protections, ending deportation relief and work permits provided by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as of March 31, 2025.
- Since 2015, Yemen's TPS has been extended six times, most recently in 2024, and was set to expire on March 3 this year before termination.
