Original Date Announced
February 13, 2026DHS Secretary Noem announced the termination of the TPS designation for Yemen. Secretary Noem stated that: "After reviewing conditions in the country and consulting with appropriate U.S. government agencies, I determined that Yemen no longer meets the law’s requirements to be designated for Temporary Protected Status. . . . Allowing TPS Yemen beneficiaries to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interest. TPS was designed to be temporary, and this administration is returning TPS to its original temporary intent. We are prioritizing our national security interests and putting America first."
The termination is effective 60 days after the notice is published in the Federal Register.
