| The Staten Island Advance reported Sunday that thousands of Liberians living in the U.S., including former Liberian President David Kpormakpor, will lose their refugee status on October 1 and face deportation. The refugees came to the U.S. under a temporary immigration designation called Temporary Protection Status (TPS), which was extended several times until this year. Jana Mason, IRC director for advocacy, said the U.S. government has never granted full citizenship to any group of refugees under TPS designation. “The longer people stay here, the more they develop roots,” Mason said.
