TPS for Nepal Terminated: 7,500 Nepali Hindus at Risk of Deportation 🚨
🔍 What is TPS?
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a U.S. humanitarian policy that offers refuge to people from countries experiencing severe crises like conflict or natural disasters. Nepal was granted TPS following the catastrophic 2015 earthquake 🏔️.
⚖️ Policy Reversal Hits Hard
In a controversial move, the Trump administration has officially ended TPS for Nepal, citing improved conditions in the country. This decision could force around 7,500 Nepali nationals—most of them Hindus—to leave the U.S. after years of legally living and working here. 💔✈️
📉 Pattern or Coincidence?
This isn’t an isolated case. Similar rollbacks have previously impacted individuals from predominantly Muslim countries, including Iran, Yemen, Syria, and Somalia. Now, Nepali Hindus are caught in the crossfire, raising deeper questions about immigration selectivity and fairness. 🚫
📆 From Hope to Uncertainty
TPS was initially granted to Nepalis in the aftermath of the 2015 disaster. Although earlier attempts to revoke it were blocked in court, recent legal shifts have now allowed the termination to go through—leaving many in limbo.
💥 What Comes Next?
The future remains unclear for thousands of Nepali families. Advocacy organizations are challenging the decision, arguing that deporting people who built their lives in the U.S. is not just legally questionable, but morally unjust 🙏
💡 Final Thoughts
This development is a stark reminder that immigration policy affects real lives—not just headlines. Let’s continue to advocate for compassion-driven policy and support those who now face uncertainty and displacement. 💙🌏
