The Trump administration's recent decision to roll back Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants could affect over 520,000 individuals, exposing them to potential deportation beginning August 3, 2025. This action aligns with Trump's campaign promises to reduce illegal immigration and follows a history of contentious policies towards immigrant protections. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's move overturns the Biden administration's extension, framing it as an unjustified prolongation of TPS. The rollback raises significant concerns about the safety and security of many Haitians who have relied on this status for several years.
The move is a part of President Trump's vow to crack down on illegal immigration, and comes after he amplified baseless claims about the Haitian American community on the campaign trail.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vacated a decision Thursday from the Biden administration to extend Haitians TPS by 18 months.
A DHS spokesperson said in a statement that President Biden and Mayorkas attempted to tie the hands of the Trump administration by extending Haiti's Temporary Protected Status by 18 months.
President Trump and Secretary Noem are returning TPS to its original status: temporary.
