Trump Administration Will End Deportation Protections for Thousands of Syrians
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on Friday it will end Temporary Protected Status for over 6,000 Syrian migrants living in the U.S. since 2012.
- This decision aligns with the Trump administration's view that conditions in Syria have improved and that previous Democratic administrations prolonged the duration of TPS protections beyond what was originally intended.
- DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin described Syria as a long-standing center of terrorism and stated that keeping Syrians in the U.S. does not align with American national priorities.
- Syrian nationals currently in the U.S. under TPS have roughly 60 days to depart voluntarily, after which those without legal status could face arrest and deportation by federal officials.
- The termination is part of a broader Trump administration effort to end temporary legal protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants, a move challenged by advocates as the largest U.S. de-documentation campaign.
