"Now, the Caribbean nation is once again holding its breath at the possibility of a similar wave of returns this time involving migrants expelled en masse by the Donald Trump administration. The future of more than 300,000 Haitians who live and work in the United States under the protection of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be decided by a federal appeals court sometime after this Thursday, when the deadline for submitting arguments expires and the threejudge panel begins deliberations."
"For the DHS and the Trump administration, Haiti no longer meets the conditions required for TPS designation, though they have never clearly explained why and that claim contradicts what is known about the country's humanitarian situation. This is why Judge Reyes blocked the termination of TPS, and it would be reasonable to expect that, if the actual living and security conditions in Haiti are taken into account, the appeals court would uphold her decision."
Haiti faced catastrophic political and humanitarian conditions and large deportations in 2025, including nearly 270,000 returned from the Dominican Republic. More than 300,000 Haitians in the United States currently hold Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a designation established after the 2010 earthquake. A district judge blocked a planned termination of Haiti's TPS, and the Trump administration has appealed that blocking to an appeals court and may ultimately reach the Supreme Court. The Department of Homeland Security contends Haiti no longer meets TPS criteria but has not clearly justified that claim, which appears to contradict known humanitarian realities in Haiti.
