The policy means that Afghans brought to the U.S. in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan last year, many of whom didn&#8217;t go through a formal process and weren&#8217;t fully vetted, will not be in line for removal. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThis TPS designation will help to protect Afghan nationals who have already been living in the United States from returning to unsafe conditions,&#8221;<b> <\/b>Mayorkas said in a statement. \u201cUnder this designation, TPS will also provide additional protections and assurances to trusted partners and vulnerable Afghans who supported the U.S. military, diplomatic, and humanitarian missions in Afghanistan over the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The policy is not necessarily intended for the roughly 80,000 Afghans who the U.S. evacuated from Kabul, Afghanistan, last year, though the DHS said that &#8220;these individuals may also be eligible for TPS.&#8221; Afghan refugees brought to the U.S. were released into the country on a parole basis, allowing them to be safe from deportation and to work for a period of two years. The DHS did not respond to a request for the total number of Afghans in the U.S. who are eligible to be shielded from being removed. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/apprehensions-at-southern-border-rose-to-165-000-in-february-mostly-single-adults\">APPREHENSIONS AT SOUTHERN BORDER ROSE TO 165,000 IN FEBRUARY, MOSTLY SINGLE ADULTS<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. government designated Afghanistan for TPS due to the armed conflict and &#8220;extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent the country\u2019s nationals from returning in safety,&#8221; the DHS said in a press release. <\/p>\n<p>Last summer, the Biden administration pulled U.S. troops from Afghanistan and al Qaeda quickly overtook control of its capital city of Kabul.
