Overview

• The Trump administration has announced plans to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 10,000 Afghans in the U.S., effective July 2025.
• Advocates argue the decision endangers Afghans, including women's rights activists, journalists, and former Afghan military personnel, many of whom face Taliban reprisals if deported.
• Human Rights Watch reports worsening conditions in Afghanistan, highlighting intensified human rights violations under Taliban rule, particularly against women and girls.
• Veterans and advocacy groups have strongly opposed the move, calling it a betrayal of promises made to Afghan allies who supported U.S. efforts during the war.
• CASA, Inc. has filed a lawsuit against the administration, claiming the policy violates procedural requirements and jeopardizes the safety of thousands living lawfully in the U.S.
