Department of Homeland Security Terminates Temporary Protected Status for Haitians
Just the facts
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes confirmed that a court order blocking the Department of Homeland Security from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti is no longer in effect. The legal development follows a Supreme Court decision allowing the federal government to end humanitarian protections for nationals from Haiti and Syria. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that federal authorities will initiate arrests and deportations for individuals who fail to self-deport or obtain alternative legal status. The policy shift affects more than 300,000 Haitian residents living in the United States who previously held legal work authorization.
Why this is news
The Department of Homeland Security began enforcement measures targeting over 300,000 Haitian nationals following judicial orders confirming the termination of Temporary Protected Status.
