Amnesty International: Deporting refugees under temporary protection from the US is a violation of human rights

Amnesty International has responded to the Trump administration’s decision to deport asylum seekers under the Temporary Protection Program (TPS) in a new statement, stating that no one should be forced to return to Afghanistan.

The organization wrote on Platform X that refugees under TPS in the United States remain at serious risk of detention and deportation.

Amnesty International called this action a violation of America’s human rights obligations and “a betrayal of those who have sought refuge in this country for safety.”
