Washington, United States: The US government said Friday it is ending a protected status for migrants from Yemen, which had been in place for the past decade.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced that Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, first designated for the Middle Eastern nation in September 2015 because of armed conflict there, would be terminated in 60 days' time.
The Trump administration has rolled back TPS protections for many nations, mostly in the developing world, as part of a drive to scale back immigration.
TPS allows narrow groups of people in the United States to live and work in the country if they're considered to be in danger if they return to their home nations, because of war, natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances.
It applied to approximately 1,400 Yemeni nationals in the United States.
