The Department of Homeland Security has revoked deportation protections for Yemenis living in the United States, ordering them to return home, according to a draft press release obtained by the Daily Caller.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced Friday that Yemen no longer meets the statutory requirements for Temporary Protected Status after a department review of conditions in the country. She said ending the designation would protect national security interests while returning the program to its original temporary intent.
“Allowing TPS Yemen beneficiaries to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interest,” Noem wrote. “We are prioritizing our national security interests and putting America first.”
The decision affects approximately 2,810 current TPS holders and another 425 with pending applications.
A win for the rule of law and vindication for the US Constitution. Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation.

The move is the latest in a series of TPS terminations by the Trump administration. DHS ended protections for Somali nationals in January amid a fraud scandal in which some diaspora — particularly in Minnesota — have been accused of stealing millions in taxpayer dollars. In November, the department revoked status for South Sudanese nationals — some of whom face deportation after more than 14 years.
A country qualifies for TPS if it meets one of three statutory criteria: ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions.
“Temporary” Protected Status for 61,000 immigrants.
Hondurans and Nicaraguans were granted protection after a 1999 hurricane. Nepalese were granted protected status in 2015.
Temporary doesn’t mean decades.

Yemen was designated in September 2015 after officials determined armed conflict made it unsafe for nationals to return. The designation is set to expire on March 3. Federal law requires DHS to review a country’s TPS status at least 60 days before expiration; Noem determined Yemen no longer qualified ahead of that deadline.
Yemeni TPS holders with no other lawful basis for remaining in the U.S. have 60 days from the Federal Register notice to voluntarily depart. After that window closes, DHS will have authority to arrest and deport those who remain without lawful status.
DHS is encouraging departing Yemenis to use the CBP Home app to report their exit. The app offers a free plane ticket, a $2,600 departure stipend, and the possibility of future legal immigration opportunities.

As the Jamaicans would say, Yemen.
Abyssinia!
Tyrannical judge says “Forget it!” in 3...2...1...
And the Chinese, Russian, etc., birth tourism? Anything on that one?
Liberal judges believe the USA is the toilet for every turd in the world and must be imported to stink up the place....and ensure a perpetual democrat party ruling class
And that asshole Boston Mayor Wu says EVERYBODY on the whole planet has a right to come to the USA!
Federal judge hissy-fit stay is forthcoming. They don’t even wait for litigants or complaints to be filed, just staying anything the Trump Administration does on their own.
“...Hondurans and Nicaraguans were granted protection after a 1999 hurricane...”
That is 27 years ago. Just for a storm!
Deport them all. 27 years is far far to long.
It makes me wonder what these federal judges were doing before Trump pissed in their soup? I think they are fatigued.
Great!
Now do Laos and Nepal. And Nigeria.
What the heck? The entire world is camping out in America. Vacation is over. It has been 27 years since the Honduran hurricane. 27 years. Go home and clean up your yards and stop living like pigs.
Damn right. I’ve worked with these people most of my adult working life, over fifty years with these Latino mutts and they HATE us.
They hate the fact their countries are sh!tholes and they have to come here. Jabbering away in Spanish and everything else and hating Whites at the same time.

The United States is the largest donor of humanitarian aid to Yemen, providing approximately $768 million in 2024 to address the ongoing crisis, which represents about half of the country’s total humanitarian response. This aid is primarily focused on food assistance, emergency response, and health, with nearly $6 billion in total assistance provided since the conflict began in 2015.
Key details regarding U.S. aid to Yemen:
Total 2024 Aid: Approximately $768 million in aid was provided in 2024.
Types of Aid: Funding supports food assistance, nutrition, healthcare, and water/sanitation, with significant portions channeled through the World Food Program and other UN agencies.
Total Assistance: Nearly $6 billion in humanitarian aid has been provided since 2015.
Challenges: Despite being the top donor, humanitarian operations have faced disruptions due to Houthi-controlled areas and, in some cases, funding cuts, notes this article from DAWN.
Impact: Over 19 million people, or more than half of Yemen’s population, rely on humanitarian assistance.

I’d rather have Nepalese than (dot) Indians any day.
As long as we a stuck with H1B, the red-dots should be replaced with Nepalese (until we can abolish it).
