Ending of Myanmar deportation protection gets slammed by rights groups as civil war rages

Rights groups have criticized the Trump administration's decision to end deportation protections for Myanmar citizens. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the change, citing Myanmar's "notable progress in governance and stability." Minnesota is home to about 22,000 people from Myanmar. Most arrived as refugees in the early and mid-2000s and would be unaffected by the policy change. It's unclear how many people in Minnesota would be affected.
