Trump Administration Ends TPS for Afghans, Cameroonians | JQJO

The Trump administration will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 10,000 Afghan and Cameroonian nationals, leading to potential deportation in May and June. Many Afghans arrived after the 2021 US withdrawal. The decision is part of a broader crackdown on immigration, with the administration arguing that TPS is misused for indefinite stays. This follows similar actions against Venezuelan and Haitian TPS recipients.

A powerful coalition of federal legislators, executive branch officials, and multinational technology corporations has coalesced around a strategy of "federal preemption," seeking to strip state governments of their authority over generative AI. The coalition argues that the legal frameworks governing these technologies are in a state of flux as generative AI affects every sector of the economy, from healthcare diagnostics to creative industries. The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
