More than 11,000 Afghans hold Temporary Protected Status, having fled Afghanistan under the Taliban, often under the threat of violence. Now they could be deported back.

The Trump administration has initiated a policy to terminate protections for Afghan refugees across the United States, including those in San Antonio, as reported on May 12, 2025. This decision affects approximately 76,000 Afghan nationals who were granted temporary protected status (TPS) following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2021. The move has sparked significant backlash from advocacy groups and local communities, who argue that it endangers the lives of these refugees by forcing them to return to a country still grappling with instability and violence. Critics of the policy, including San Antonio's mayor and various non-profit organizations, are urging the administration to reconsider, emphasizing the humanitarian crisis that could ensue if the protections are lifted.
