Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials on Friday announced the department will revoke the temporary protected status (TPS) for thousands of migrants from Afghanistan and Cameroon in the coming months.

The move comes after the department said it was revoking the status for nearly a million migrants who entered the country through the Biden administration's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) One app.

The new order is expected to impact approximately 14,600 Afghans, and 7,900 Cameroonians, according to Reuters. The Afghans will lose their status in May, and Cameroonians will lose it in June.

“The secretary determined that Afghanistan no longer continues to meet the statutory requirements for its TPS designation and so she terminated TPS for Afghanistan,” Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokesperson, told The Hill.

McLaughlin said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem made the determination for Afghanistan last month, and for Cameroon on Monday.

The decision could still face legal challenges, after a similar move to end protections for Venezuelans was blocked by a federal judge last week.
