WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has formally ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Cameroon, citing improved country conditions that no longer meet the program’s legal requirements.
The decision, announced in a Federal Register notice, follows a review by DHS and consultations with interagency partners. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem determined that the crisis conditions that originally warranted TPS for Cameroon have sufficiently eased.
The termination will take effect on Aug. 4, 2025, giving beneficiaries 60 days from the notice’s publication to prepare for departure. Individuals affected by the change may document their voluntary exit using U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) CBP One mobile app.
TPS, which provides temporary residency and work authorization to foreign nationals fleeing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions, was initially designated for Cameroon in 2022 due to widespread violence and humanitarian crises.
