URGENT: U.S. Ends TPS for Afghan Nationals

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghans will end on July 14, 2025.

DHS states that this decision is based on its assessment that conditions in Afghanistan have improved, and Afghan nationals no longer meet the criteria for TPS. As a result, thousands of Afghans currently protected under TPS are at risk of deportation.

🛂 Employment Authorization During the Transition

Certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) previously issued to Afghan TPS holders have been automatically extended until July 14, 2025.

✅ What You Should Do:

• If you or someone you know has TPS, consult an immigration lawyer or a DOJ-accredited representative to explore other legal options to remain in the U.S.

• For free or low-cost legal assistance, visit the Immigration Advocates Network.

• Stay informed by connecting with local Afghan community organizations and newcomer support groups.

• Help spread the word – share this information with those who may be affected.
