US Government Terminates Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopia

The United States government has terminated the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Ethiopia, affecting thousands of its nationals. This decision mandates that eligible individuals must leave the United States within a 60

• day period or risk detention and removal.




Deadline for Departure and Potential Consequences




The Department of Homeland Security's order provides a strict 60

• day window for affected Ethiopian nationals to depart. Failure to comply with this deadline could result in arrest and deportation proceedings initiated by US immigration authorities.




What is Temporary Protected Status?




Temporary Protected Status is a US immigration program that grants individuals from countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions the legal right to live and work in the United States. The termination of TPS for Ethiopia signifies that the US government now considers the conditions in the country to have sufficiently improved, no longer warranting the special protection.





• Legal Status Change: Ethiopians under TPS will lose their work authorization and protected legal status.


• Compliance Required: Affected individuals must prepare for departure to avoid legal penalties.
