The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on June 4, 2025 posted notice that it is terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Cameroon.

The Department had signaled its intention to do so in public statements made in April, but no official notice was posted until June 4. According to the Department, after reviewing country conditions and consulting with appropriate U.S. Government agencies, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determined that Cameroon no longer continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS.

The current designation is set to expire on June 7, but law requires the Secretary to make public notice of a decision to terminate at least 60 days before the designation ends. Therefore, the notice notes termination will be effective August 4 and recognizes that Cameroonian TPS beneficiaries may continue to be employment-authorized during the 60-day transition period.

Along with the termination of Afghanistan’s TPS designation, this action is being challenged in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.
