On November 6, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 5,000 South Sudanese nationals who fled the country’s civil war. According to a Federal Register notice, those who have lived in the U.S. since 2011 will lose legal status in January and have 60 days to leave or face deportation.
DHS said the decision reflects improving security conditions and ongoing diplomatic engagement with South Sudan’s transitional government. Critics, however, warn that instability could quickly return, endangering deported individuals.
The move continues a broader Trump-era pattern of rescinding TPS for nationals from several countries, including Haiti, Syria, and Venezuela.
