The Department of Homeland Security is revoking temporary protected status for thousands of South Sudanese nationals who fled civil war and instability in the East African country, per a notice uploaded to the Federal Register on Wednesday.

Per the notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, South Sudanese in the United States who came as early as 2011, when South Sudan gained independence from Sudan, will lose legal rights to stay in the United States in January and have 60 days between now and then to leave the United States or face deportation. Legal status for South Sudanese had been extended across the Obama, first Trump and Biden administrations.

The revocation is expected to affect some of the 5,000 South Sudanese who currently live in the United States.

It’s the latest of a number of revocations of temporary protected status designations under the Trump administration. Since President Donald Trump took office, DHS has revoked protections allowing Haitians, Syrians and Venezuelans who fled instability and conflict to stay in the United States. And DHS has signaled an interest in continually reviewing standing temporary protected status designations to see if some merit being revoked.

The notice acknowledged continued instability in South Sudan but pointed to ongoing negotiations between the transitional government in Juba and the State Department, along with an improving security situation in the country as evidence the country could reintegrate its citizens if they return home.

“Although residual challenges from the civil war remain, there is no longer an ongoing armed conflict that poses a serious threat to the personal safety of returning South Sudanese nationals,” the agency said.

South Sudan has also sought to court the Trump administration, taking a small number of deportees from other countries in exchange for some relief from sanctions against its political leaders.

But fears have mounted that South Sudan may soon descend into civil war again. U.N. officials in recent months have sounded the alarm that the 2018 framework that allowed for an end to the conflict appears on the verge of collapse.
