US President Donald Trump looks on while walking to his vehicle upon arrival at Palm Beach International Airport, West Palm Beach, Florida, US, April 11, 2025.
The Trump administration has terminated temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghans and Cameroonians in the US, a US Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said on Friday, building on Trump's far-reaching immigration crackdown.
An estimated 14,600 Afghans eligible for Temporary Protected Status will now lose it in May. Some 7,900 Cameroonians had access to the status but will lose it in June under the termination.
