The announcement from the Department of Homeland Security would end temporary protected status (TPS) for Afghans, a protection offered by the Biden administration after the U.S. withdrawal amid deteriorating conditions in the country.
TPS can be initiated when the administration concludes its not safe to deport people to their country due to civil unrest or other dangerous conditions.
This administration is returning TPS to its original temporary intent, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday in a release.
Weve reviewed the conditions in Afghanistan with our interagency partners, and they do not meet the requirements for a TPS designation. Afghanistan has had an improved security situation, and its stabilizing economy no longer prevent them from returning to their home country.

if I were an Afghan male then I would have to debate whether to hide/fight or go back to whatever hell awaits them. For the females I would rather die than go back.
The one lesson that is being taught by Trump is that alliances being nothing if you are not white. That your support of American global interest are day to day and not in your best interest. There is no rational reason for jeopardizing the safety of our allies in a 10+ year conflict and replacing them with a racist subsection of a nation that has never embodies any of our values. Oh, I forgot, theyre white.
