US Court rejects delay of Afghan TPS end, deportation to begin July 14

A U.S. federal court rejected delaying the end of Afghan TPS, placing thousands at risk of deportation and loss of work rights.

A U.S. federal court has rejected a request to delay the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals living in the United States. This means that starting July 14, 2025, many Afghans may lose their work permits and face deportation.

The decision was made by Judge Theodore Chuang from the U.S. District Court in Maryland on July 10.
