Biden Admin Extends Temporary Protected Status for Yemenis

HeadlineJul 07, 2021

In immigration news, the Biden administration has extended temporary protected status, or TPS, to Yemeni nationals already in the U.S., citing the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in their home country, where the U.N. estimates some 20 million people, many of them children, now rely on aid. TPS will be extended for roughly 1,700 Yemenis through early March 2023; the current term was set to expire in September.
