Deportation Looms for 11,000 Afghans: US Court Rejects TPS Delay
A US court’s decision to deny a request to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghan nationals has cast a shadow over the lives of over 11,000 individuals. The ruling means deportation looms, starting July 14, 2025.
This decision leaves thousands vulnerable to deportation back to Afghanistan, a nation grappling with the harsh realities of Taliban rule. The implications are particularly dire for women and other vulnerable groups.
Human rights organizations have voiced serious concerns about the potential for widespread human rights abuses and even loss of life upon their return. They highlight the precarious situation faced by Afghan nationals, particularly women, under the Taliban regime.
The court’s refusal to grant a delay in the termination of TPS has sparked outrage among advocacy groups. They are now calling for immediate intervention to prevent a humanitarian crisis.
This development carries significant implications for India, given the historical ties between India and Afghanistan and the potential for increased refugee flows. The situation demands urgent attention from the international community to ensure the safety and well-being of these vulnerable individuals.
