Trump ends deportation protection for 500,000 Haitians

The Department of Homeland Security will end the temporary protected status for 500,000 Haitians living in the United States in August 3, 2025.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the decision by the former administration as an attempt to "tie the hands" of President Donald Trump.

"President Trump and I are returning TPS to its original status: temporary," Noem said in the statement.
