DHS Terminates Haiti TPS; 520,000 Haitians Told To Depart Or Seek New Status, CBP Home App Promotes Departures

DHS announced it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, with the designation expiring Aug. 3 and termination effective Sept. 2. More than 520,000 Haitians must secure another lawful status or depart. Officials say conditions have improved to allow safe returns and are encouraging departures via the CBP Home app, while noting eligible individuals can apply for other benefits. The move reverses prior extensions and is part of a broader administration shift to roll back humanitarian protections.
