TPS for Haiti Terminated

You may recall that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a partial vacatur of TPS for Haiti back in February. Back then, Noem merely pulled back the end date of TPS from the statutory maximum (18-mons: Feb 3, 2026) that Sec. Mayorkas had instituted to a shorter timeline (12-mons: Aug 3, 2025). 

Yesterday, Sec. Noem announced that TPS for Haiti would be allowed to expire on Aug. 3, 2025, with an effective termination date of September 2, 2025.

“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.”
