Biden admin announces deportation protections, work permits for thousands of Afghan nationals
Fox News
The Biden administration says it will redesignate Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status, granting additional deportation protections and work permits for thousands.
The designation is typically based on conditions in the designated country and is based on three grounds: armed ongoing conflict, environmental disasters or "extraordinary and temporary conditions." Officials cited conditions including armed conflict in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has retaken control.

"Today’s announcement to extend and redesignate TPS for Afghanistan allows us to continue to offer safety and protection to Afghan nationals who are unable to return to their country," DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
