Immigration status extended for LiberiansWASHINGTON (AP) — As peacekeeping forces moved into Liberia's capital Thursday, the Bush administration announced it will extend the temporary immigration status for thousands of people who have fled that war-ravaged country.
In a Federal Register notice Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security said the temporary protected status for Liberians has been extended until October 1, 2004.
The 12-month extension is warranted, according to DHS, "due to ongoing armed conflict within Liberia that would pose a serious threat to the personal safety of returning nationals of Liberia."
