WASHINGTON, March 30 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The US government has extended by 12 months the temporary leave to remain of thousands of Liberians who were facing deportation by Sunday (March 31).
Most of them fled Liberia’s two civil wars between 1989 and 2003 and were allowed to live in the US under a scheme called Deferred Enforced Departure.
The Trump administration has extended the scheme, following pressure from lawmakers, human rights activists and civil rights lawyers. — NNN-AGENCIES
