Trump to end special legal status for Liberian immigrants

Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered an end to special legal status for certain immigrants from Liberia, thousands of whom escaped the violence of war and have lived in the United States for decades.

They will now face the prospect of deportation, with the law that will end their protection coming into effect next year. The president cited improved conditions in the west African country.

“Liberia is no longer experiencing armed conflict and has made significant progress in restoring stability and democratic governance,” said a memorandum signed by Trump and released by the White House on Tuesday.

This year, ICE expects to deport 209,000 people. It is highly unlikely, however, that Jakiw Palij will be among them—even though Palij is a war criminal, the last Nazi war criminal living in the United States https://thebea.st/2upS4Rh
