Haitian Immigrants in US Face Deportation Risk After TPS Termination
The Trump administration ended the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for Haitian nationals living in the United States, and the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the decision in June 2024. The termination affects roughly 330,000 Haitian migrants, stripping them of work authorization and exposing them to possible deportation. Community leaders in Southern California report widespread fear, with Haitian residents staying home and worrying about losing jobs. Legal experts note that former TPS holders can seek other immigration avenues, such as family‑based green cards, student or work visas, or other non‑immigrant statuses. In Ohio, Haitian immigrants have been summoned to ICE offices and fitted with ankle monitors, prompting further anxiety among the community. The Department of Homeland Security announced the removal of the protections earlier this week, completing the policy shift that began under the Trump administration.
