Syrians to lose cover against deportation

The Trump administration will terminate deportation protections for thousands of migrants from Syria, homeland security officials said Friday.About 6,000 Syrians are authorised to live and work in the United States through the programme, known as Temporary Protected Status, which is meant to help migrants who cannot return to their countries because of unsafe conditions. About 1,000 more Syrians also had pending applications to join the program as of Aug, according to the department of homeland security."This is what restoring sanity to America's immigration system looks like," Tricia McLaughlin, the department's assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement. "Conditions in Syria no longer prevent their nationals from returning home."
