The Trump administration has announced the cancellation of protections for nearly half a million Haitians, which means they could face deportation and lose their work permits by August. This measure aligns with Trump's campaign commitment to implement mass deportations and reduce the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program, which was expanded under the Biden administration. Critics argue that the TPS extension has been misused over the years, while advocates contend that sending people back to Haiti amid ongoing crises is inhumane and neglects current safety concerns.
To send 500,000 people back to a country where there is such a high level of death, it is utterly inhumane, said Tessa Petit.
The Trump administration is throwing out protections that shielded roughly half a million Haitians from deportation, meaning they would lose their work permits.
The decision is part of a sweeping effort by the Trump administration to make good on campaign promises to carry out mass deportations.
