AHRC Applauds Federal Court Decision Blocking TPS Termination for Yemeni Nationals
The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) welcomes the May 1, 2026, order issued by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, by Judge Dale Ho, halting the Department of Homeland Security and the Administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemeni nationals residing legally in the United States as litigation continues.
TPS for Yemen was scheduled to end on May 4, 2026, which would have forced Yemeni immigrants to leave the country within 60 days or face arrest and deportation. Yemen was originally designated for TPS in 2015 during the Obama administration.
The Court’s emergency injunction provides temporary relief to nearly 3,000 Yemeni nationals, protecting them from imminent deportation, preserving their work authorization, and maintaining their basic temporary legal status.
Yemen is one of 13 countries for which TPS was terminated under the Trump administration, leaving nationals from Syria, Haiti, and other affected countries in similar legal uncertainty. The State Department currently maintains a Level 4 Travel Advisory for Yemen, warning Americans not to travel there due to “terrorism, unrest, crime, health risks, kidnapping, and landmines.”
Yemen remains a war-torn nation facing severe instability and an ongoing humanitarian crisis. Ending TPS would expose recipients to extraordinary harm and place their safety and wellbeing at serious risk. The danger is real and immediate.
AHRC salutes the legal teams working tirelessly to protect lives and uphold the rights and safety of TPS beneficiaries from all impacted countries.
AHRC remains hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court will address this matter fairly, justly, and with full consideration of the human consequences at stake.
