Trump administration ends temporary protected status for Yemenis in US

The Trump administration announced it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemeni citizens in the US within two months. According to the Secretary of Homeland Security, allowing Yemenis to remain is contrary to the national interest and the country no longer meets the legal requirements for the designation. This decision has been criticized as contradictory, given that the State Department still lists Yemen under a "Level 4 - Do Not Travel" advisory due to terrorism, unrest, and other dangers. Yemeni-American leaders have expressed disappointment, highlighting the ongoing risks of persecution and violence for those forced to return.
