Trump Terminates Protected Status for Yemeni Migrants After Scoring Major Court Victory
2026-02-14
[Townhall] The Trump administration has moved to end Temporary Protected Status for Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
 just days after a major court victory allowing the Department of Homeland Security to strip the designation from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal.

Around 3,000 Yemeni migrants colonists are currently in the United States under the TPS designation, making them eligible for deportation after the status expires in 60 days. The Trump administration’s decision will almost certainly face a legal challenge, as numerous lifts of the designation have been brought to court.

As with previous cases, Noem has argued that the situation in Yemen has stabilized to the point where a TPS designation is no longer applicable, and the United States retaining Yemeni migrants colonists would be "contrary to our national interest."

The government has encouraged Yemenis to take advantage of Homeland Security’s self-deportation program, which provides individuals with $2,600 and a complementary plane ride to their home country.
It’s gone up. According to the Times of Israel:
Around 1,380 Yemeni nationals were covered by the temporary protected status as of March 31, 2025, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The status was last extended in 2024 and was set to expire on March 3 this year.
