The Trump administration announced on Friday that it will no longer extend temporary legal status for citizens of Ethiopia residing in the United States. This decision comes after a thorough review of country conditions and consultation with relevant authorities. The move is expected to impact a significant number of Ethiopians who are currently in the US under this temporary status.
Concerns have been raised about the implications of ending this legal status, as many Ethiopians in the US may face challenges in regularizing their immigration status. The decision is seen as part of President Trump’s broader immigration policy, which has focused on limiting legal immigration and tightening border controls.
Ethiopian community leaders and advocacy groups have expressed disappointment and concern over the decision. They argue that ending temporary legal status will force many Ethiopians to return to a country that is facing economic and political challenges, risking their safety and well-being.
The Trump administration’s move to end temporary legal status for Ethiopians is consistent with similar decisions made regarding other immigrant groups. The administration has been gradually phasing out temporary protected status for nationals from various countries, citing improved conditions in those nations as justification for termination.
As the deadline for the termination of temporary legal status approaches, many Ethiopians in the US are left uncertain about their future. The decision is expected to have far-reaching effects on families and communities, prompting calls for Congress to intervene and provide a pathway to permanent residency for affected individuals.
