Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has announced the termination of Ethiopia's Temporary Protected Status, citing improved conditions in Ethiopia that no longer pose a threat to the safety of returning nationals. Ethiopian nationals without a legal basis to remain in the U.S. have 60 days to voluntarily depart, with incentives such as a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration through the CBP Home Mobile App. After Feb. 13, 2026, Ethiopian nationals without status may face arrest and deportation, potentially forfeiting future opportunities to legally return to the United States.
