Original Date Announced
December 12, 2025USCIS issued a notice in the Federal Register announcing the termination of TPS for Ethiopia. TPS for Ethiopia has been based on both "ongoing armed conflict" and "extraordinary and temporary conditions." The Notice explains that DHS has determined that the country is no longer experiencing "an ongoing armed conflict that poses a serious threat to returning Ethiopian nationals" and that the "extraordinary and temporary conditions" no longer merit TPS. Additionally and in connection with the extraordinary and temporary conditions grounds for TPS, DHS determined that it was no longer in the "national interest" to permit Ethiopian nationals to remain in the United States under TPS because of visa overstay rates and concerns about security and benefits fraud.
