EXCLUSIVE: As Afghan Christians face deportation, faith leaders urge Trump administration to reconsider
Fox News
Afghan Christians in the U.S. face imminent deportation after the termination of TPS, prompting urgent appeals from faith leaders to the Trump administration.
On April 10, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it would terminate humanitarian parole for Afghan nationals, effectively ordering thousands to leave the U.S. within days.

Though early reporting referred to the change as ending temporary protected status (TPS), internal DHS notifications confirm the affected Afghans were in fact under humanitarian parole. The mislabeling was repeated by media outlets and DHS but has since been corrected in official memos from advocacy groups.
