The Trump administration's decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 500,000 Haitians living in the U.S. beginning August 3 raises significant concerns about their safety. TPS is designed for nationals from countries in crisis, and the move has been criticized due to the dire situation in Haiti, which faces increased gang violence and humanitarian crises. Despite pushback from many elected officials and humanitarian organizations, DHS argues it has been 'exploited and abused.' The decision could leave many Haitians vulnerable to deportation amid deteriorating conditions back home.
Haiti is in the grip of a severe humanitarian and human rights crisis. Atrocious massacres of hundreds of innocent civilians are now a regular, frequent occurrence, while food insecurity is rampant.
The Trump administration will end Temporary Protected Status for approximately 500,000 Haitians living in the United States on Aug. 3, despite the worsening conditions in Haiti.
