The Department of Homeland Security plans to terminate Temporary Protected Status for South Sudanese nationals, ending over a decade of legal protection for around 5,000 individuals in the U.S. This decision, attributed to perceived improvements in South Sudan despite ongoing warnings of potential conflict resurgence, will be formalized in the Federal Register, initiating a 60-day grace period before deportation. Humanitarian groups caution that conditions remain precarious, with deepening economic distress and widespread human rights abuses persisting in South Sudan. The U.N. has raised alarms about the fragile peace and worsening humanitarian crises, with millions requiring assistance.
