Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the plight of Cameroonian immigrants and the continued turmoil and instability in the nation of Cameroon merits a designation of humanitarian parole and calling on the Department of Homeland Security to create a humanitarian parole program for Cameroonians fleeing this violence.

This resolution highlights the severe humanitarian crisis in Cameroon, driven by five simultaneous conflicts including the Anglophone Crisis , Boko Haram insurgency , and political instability, leading to significant loss of life, displacement, and human rights violations. It notes that these conditions prevent Cameroonian nationals from safely returning home, despite the Department of Homeland Security having previously designated and extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Cameroon. The resolution further details the perilous journeys and discriminatory treatment faced by Cameroonian immigrants, including the potential expiration of TPS protections and the risk of human rights abuses upon deportation. It points out that Black immigrants, including Cameroonians, face disproportionately high rates of detention, abuse, and asylum rejections within the U.S. immigration system, raising concerns about anti-Blackness in historical immigration policy. Therefore, the House of Representatives recognizes the dire situation and calls on the Secretary of Homeland Security to utilize existing authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a special humanitarian parole program for Cameroonian nationals. This program aims to provide much-needed humanitarian relief and facilitate their resettlement in the United States, with appropriate resources allocated for comprehensive support.
