Release Date: June 27, 2025
WASHINGTON – Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem today announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. The TPS designation for the country expires on Aug. 3, 2025, and the termination will be effective on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, is required to review the conditions in a country designated for TPS to determine whether the conditions supporting the designation continue to be met, and if so, how long to extend the designation.
“This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” said a DHS spokesperson. “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”
After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Haiti no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Haiti and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Haitians can return home in safety. She further determined that permitting Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States. Haitian nationals returning home are encouraged to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app to report their departure from the United States.
I’m wondering, however, what kinds of systems of internal controls the the CBP app have that verifies that the person actually left the U.S. Does anyone know, or is this a question for Noem & co.? I’ve read/heard that only minor changes were made to the original app to accommodate its new purpose and, as far as I can tell, there was no “back end” to the original that tracked illegals’ movements once they used it to enter the country.
Hit the road Jacque, don’t you come back no more.
They killed all the White people and it’s been a shithole ever since.
The DR, on the same island, good times roll.
When was the last time you had a good Haitian cigar?
Same Island
I hope we saved all their boats.
@AbigailAdams:
Good question. I’d bet that although he ended up at the SSA, Mr. Big Balls could hack that app into shape over the weekend! 😄
Haiti is not exactly bringing their best. Haiti’s ave IQ is 67.
Do we really need this kind of “talent” who will never be able to learn the Pledge of Allegiance?
’bout time!
You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.
There is a Haitian community in the town 20 miles north of where I live in south Georgia. That town has become a no-stop as the crime rate has gone through the roof. If I am driving through I am armed.
Good riddance. US dogs and cats, thank you President Trump.
Haitians are like the Hmong. No concept of personal property. If they see it and want it they take it. We did several missions trips and I once noticed an abandoned Catholic Church. How bad does a culture have to be for the Catholic Church to walk away? According to the local interpreter they sunk millions into the project and realized the voo doo drums started up immediately after the locals left Mass and walked across the village square
