The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for roughly 520,000 Haitians currently residing in the US.
The TPS designations for the country will expire on Aug. 3, 2025, and the termination will be effective on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025.
"This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary," said a DHS spokesperson.
"The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible."
Noem made the decision to revoke TPS status after reviewing a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) report which showed that Haiti no longer meets the statutory requirements that grant foreign residents the ability to obtain temporary protected status.
