On Friday, June 27, 2025, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the end of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. The country's TPS designation expires on August 3rd, 2025, and the termination will be effective Tuesday, September 2nd, 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.

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. Kristi Noem, 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.
