The Trump administration is ending the temporary protected status for South Sudanese nationals that has been in place for more than a decade, according to a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notice published on Wednesday

Nationals from South Sudan have a 60-day grace period to leave the United States before facing deportation starting in early January, DHS said in the notice on their designation status, which expired on Monday.
