Overview
- A Federal Register notice posted Nov. 27 formalizes the termination of Haiti’s TPS designation effective Feb. 3, 2026.
- Roughly 350,000 Haitian TPS beneficiaries are affected as the designation and associated work authorization are set to expire on that date.
- DHS instructs those without another lawful basis to remain to report self-departure via the CBP Home app, offering a complimentary flight and a $1,000 exit payment with potential future legal entry opportunities.
- The agency cites security concerns, including Haiti’s lack of a central authority and limited law‑enforcement information, as part of its rationale.
- The action follows a July ruling that halted an earlier attempt on procedural grounds and fits a broader 2025 push to wind down multiple TPS programs.
