Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas granted immigrants from Cameroon temporary protection in the United States on Friday, allowing them to remain in the country for 18 months and apply for work permits.
Only Cameroonians living in the United States as of April 14 are eligible for temporary protected status , which typically benefits undocumented immigrants and those with visas that are set to expire.
A 1990 immigration law authorizes DHS to grant protection to people from nations experiencing war, natural disasters and other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.” In the Cameroon decision, DHS cited the years-long armed conflict between the country’s English-speaking minority and French-speaking majority and a “significant rise” in attacks by the extremist group Boko Haram.
