The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday it will end the Temporary Protected Status program for Afghan refugees, a move that could lead to the deportation of thousands of migrants from the U.S., including in Minnesota.
TPS protects migrants who cannot return to their home country due to unsafe conditions like war or natural disasters. In a statement, DHS said temporary protected status for Afghans will expire on May 20 and the program will be eliminated in July.
Nasreen Sajady, executive director of the Afghan Cultural Society in Minneapolis, joins MPR News host Nina Moini to break down what this means for Afghan refugees living in the state.
