The Trump administration has ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemeni nationals in the United States.

Approximately 1,400 Yemenis are protected from deportation under TPS.

Yemen is the 13th country to have its TPS removed by the Trump administration.

“After reviewing conditions in the country and consulting with appropriate U.S. government agencies, I determined that Yemen no longer meets the law’s requirements to be designated for Temporary Protected Status,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said.

“Allowing TPS Yemen beneficiaries to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interest.

We encourage aliens leaving the United States to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States. The app provides a safe, secure way to self-deport that includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $2,600 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration.

After the effective date of the termination, the Department of Homeland Security may arrest and deport any Yemeni national without status once their TPS has been terminated. If an alien forces DHS to arrest and remove them, they may never be allowed to return to the United States.
