Story summary

U.S. Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, will terminate Temporary Protected Status for Yemeni nationals, effective in 60 days.
About 1,400 Yemenis have held TPS since 2015 due to ongoing conflict.
Noem says Yemen no longer meets TPS requirements, and keeping beneficiaries would clash with U.S. national interests.
Yemeni nationals without another legal status must depart voluntarily or face arrest and deportation.
