The move affects eligible nationals from these four African nations who relied on TPS to remain and work legally in the U.S. Without another lawful immigration status, these individuals risk losing their legal standing.
TPS is a temporary humanitarian program allowing eligible nationals of designated countries to remain in the U.S. when conditions such as armed conflict, natural disasters, or extraordinary circumstances prevent safe return.
The designation does not grant permanent residency or a pathway to U.S. citizenship. Somalia is among the latest countries to face TPS termination, joining a growing list of affected nations under the administration’s immigration policy shift.
Countries affected by the broader TPS rollback: Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, South, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen,
For affected individuals without an alternative valid immigration status, the end of TPS protection leads to the revocation of employment authorization and raises fears of potential deportation.
