U.S. to revoke immigration status of Haitian migrants in September

Summary: The U.S. government, under the Trump administration, announced it will revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work permits for approximately 348,000 Haitian migrants starting September 2, 2025. Officials claim conditions in Haiti have improved enough for return, though the U.S. State Department still warns against travel there due to violence, political instability, and widespread poverty.

TPS has allowed Haitians to live and work legally in the U.S. since the 2010 earthquake. Without another legal status (such as asylum or a green card), TPS holders will become subject to deportation. The administration is encouraging voluntary departure through a smartphone app for self-deportation, warning that those who remain may be forcibly removed.

While the Biden administration had expanded TPS protections to include more Haitians and other nationalities, Trump’s administration is scaling it back as part of a broader crackdown on immigration, with plans already announced to end TPS for Afghans, Cameroonians, and Venezuelans.
