On February 13, 2026, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemen effective 60 days after the date of publication of the notice in the Federal Register. As of press time, it was unclear when the notice would be published.
TPS Yemen beneficiaries in the United States, estimated to number about 1,380, with no other lawful basis for remaining have 60 days from publication to voluntarily depart the United States. The agency encouraged those leaving the United States to use U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States. The app includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $2,600 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration, DHS said.
