DHS Ends Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the United States
On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in the Federal Register that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals will be terminated on September 2, 2025. Also on July 1, a New York federal judge ruled that DHS’s prior attempt to shorten the TPS period for Haitian nationals violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). That ruling ordered DHS to keep Haiti’s TPS designation valid until at least February 2026, as scheduled by the Biden administration. DHS has stated that it intends to appeal this decision.
