The Trump administration has rescinded deportation protections that the Biden administration had issued for more than 3,600 illegal immigrants from Burma, now called Myanmar, in the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem decided on Monday to reverse her predecessor’s decision to renew temporary protected status, or TPS, for Burmese people who illegally entered the U.S. The program will end on Jan. 26, 2026.
