The Trump administration has revoked Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 500,000 Haitians living in the United States, a move that could lead to widespread deportations starting this summer. This new policy, enacted by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, negates an 18-month extension previously granted by ex-President Biden. Originally implemented due to the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, TPS was designed to safeguard individuals who cannot safely return to their home country due to natural disasters or violence. Critics of TPS, including Trump, argue that it has become a means for migrants to stay indefinitely, straying from its intended purpose. With protections now set to expire in August rather than February, many Haitian migrants are left facing uncertain futures and the possibility of removal.
