Biden Administration Extends Temporary Protected Status for Yemeni Nationals

Thousands of Yemeni refugees in the U.S. receive deportation relief and work authorization until 2026 due to ongoing conflict in Yemen.

The Department of Homeland Security announced the extension and re-designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen.
Approximately 2,300 Yemenis currently in the U.S. are protected from deportation until March 2026.
An additional 1,700 Yemeni nationals residing in the U.S. since July 2 are now eligible for TPS.
The measure allows Yemenis to remain and work in the U.S. due to severe humanitarian conditions in Yemen.
Immigration advocacy groups praise the move but call for comprehensive immigration reform.
