  "title": "The West African country of Liberia is accepting 1,200 migrants who are being deported from the United States.\n\nThe migrants are from Liberia and are being deported because their Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, was ended in 2018.\n\nThe TPS program allowed people from countries hit by war, natural disasters or other crises to stay and work in the US.\n\nThe first group of 200 deportees is due to arrive in Liberia on February 15.\n\nThe US Department of Homeland Security said it expected the deportations to continue until June 2022.\n\nThe US has had a special arrangement with Liberia since 1991, when it gave Liberians TPS status because of a civil war.\n\nThe status was extended several times, most recently in 2017, but was ended by the administration of President Donald Trump.\n\nThe US said it had given 2,750 Liberians a chance to stay, but many did not qualify.\n\nThe US has also deported hundreds of people from Haiti and El Salvador who were also covered by TPS.",
