The United States announced it was ending deportation protection for those from civil war-torn Myanmar, the latest nation to have Temporary Protected Status terminated amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the termination of TPS for Myanmar on Monday, saying it will be in effect in 60 days, on Jan. 26.

Some 3,670 Myanmar nationals were in the United States under the TPS program, according to the National Immigration Forum nonprofit based in Washington, D.C.

The previous Biden administration designated Myanmar for TPS in May 2021 in response to civil conflict that erupted in the country following the Feb. 1, 2021, military coup. The designation has been repeatedly renewed until Monday.

YANGON: Myanmar's junta applauded the Trump administration on Wednesday (Nov 26) for halting a scheme that protected its citizens from deportation from the United States back to their war-racked homeland.

Around 4,000 Myanmar citizens are living in the United States with "Temporary Protected Status" (TPS), which shields foreign nationals from deportation to disaster zones and allows them the right to work.

Myanmar nationals were made eligible for the TPS programme after the military snatched power in a 2021 coup, sparking a devastating civil war and a raft of repressive legal measures and arrests of activists.

However, Washington said on Monday it was removing Myanmar citizens' eligibility, citing "substantial steps toward political stability" that include upcoming elections and this summer's ending of emergency rule.
