FAQ

Dig deeper on this story with frequently asked questions.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a humanitarian immigration status granted to individuals from countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions, allowing them to stay and work in the U.S. temporarily without fear of deportation. For Haitians, TPS was designated due to safety concerns in Haiti, but the Trump administration has announced the termination of TPS for Haitians effective September 2, 2025, affecting over 500,000 migrants.

The administration justified ending TPS for Haitians by citing claims that conditions in Haiti have improved sufficiently to no longer warrant the extension of TPS, despite ongoing violence and civil unrest that have displaced 1.3 million people. This decision has been legally upheld by the Supreme Court.

Haitian migrants are encouraged to leave the United States voluntarily using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Home app, which facilitates their departure by providing a complimentary flight and a $1,000 bonus. Those who remain risk deportation once TPS ends.

The U.S. Department of State advises against travel to Haiti due to high crime rates, civil unrest, and limited access to healthcare, raising serious safety concerns for returning Haitian migrants, as the conditions in Haiti remain unstable and dangerous.

The Supreme Court has upheld the Trump administration’s decision to terminate TPS for Haitian migrants, confirming the administration’s authority to end the designation despite the humanitarian concerns raised by critics.
