DHS Announces Termination of Afghanistan TPS Effective July 2025
On May 12, 2025, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced that the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan will be terminated effective July 14, 2025. The current TPS designation for Afghanistan is scheduled to expire on May 20, 2025. This announcement is the latest in the current administration’s push to roll back immigration benefits for foreign nationals living and working in the United States. Noem stated that permitting Afghan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is “contrary to the national interest of the United States.”
