The Department of Homeland Security announced that it will end Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Haitian people living in the United States legally.


The TPS program was created in 1990 to provide people in disaster-stricken countries to find legal, short-term refuge in the United States.


Haitians are expected to leave by Sept. 2


Since the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse in 2021, the country has been in relentless turmoil with extreme violence, hunger and homelessness.


Moreover, the country has yet to fully re-build from the devastating earthquake in 2021.


However, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security that Haiti is safe enough for Haitian citizens to return home.


Haiti will join Venezuela in having TPS status removed, opening the door for increased deportations.


Roughly 500,000 Haitians in the USA are expected to be impacted.
