Overview

• The TPS designation for Haitian nationals will expire on August 3 and terminate on September 2, 2025, affecting roughly 520,000 people.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cited improved environmental conditions in Haiti as the basis for ending the relief.
• Critics and the State Department dispute claims of safety, pointing to ongoing gang violence, political instability and a Level 4 travel advisory.
• Those who lose TPS will become ineligible to work legally in the U.S. and face arrest and deportation unless they secure another status.
• The move is part of a broader rollback of humanitarian protections, with DHS encouraging voluntary departures through its CBP Home app and other resources.
