Thousands face deportation to danger as Trump targets temporary protections

People with temporary protected status face possible deportation even though their home countries - including Afghanistan and Haiti - remain unsafe

Many thousands of immigrants living in the US who came from certain countries regarded as risky or dangerous are at the mercy of US judges and the Trump administration's agenda to slash their work authorization and protection from deportation.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has announced the termination of temporary protected status (TPS) for citizens of seven of the 15 countries previously designated for shelter under this legal umbrella - with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) controversially citing improved conditions in some of those places.
