The Trump administration has announced it will end the Temporary Protected Status designation for Haiti by July 2019, potentially forcing tens of thousands of Haitian immigrants to either leave the US or live in the shadows.
TPS is an immigration status allowed by law for certain countries experiencing dire conditions, such as a natural disaster, epidemic or war. It protects individuals from deportation and authorizes them to work in the US.
In May, former Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, who now serves as White House chief of staff, extended the protection from deportation for Haitians for an additional six months. When Kelly temporarily extended the status for Haiti, which had received the designation after an earthquake devastated the island in 2010, he warned the nearly 58,700 recipients living in America to prepare their affairs for going back to Haiti or to find another way to apply to stay in the United States.
"Based on all available information, including recommendations received as part of an inter-agency consultation process, Acting Secretary Duke determined that those extraordinary but temporary conditions caused by the 2010 earthquake no longer exist," a statement from the Department of Homeland Security said. "Thus, under the applicable statute, the current TPS designation must be terminated."

According to DHS, the department can designate a country for Temporary Protected Status when it has been affected by "conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country's nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately."
This can include situations like civil wars or natural disasters. Individuals who are already in the United States from the designated countries are eligible and are then protected from deportation.
When their protected status expires, individuals living in the US under those protections will revert to the status they would have had otherwise or the status they applied for in the interim, meaning thousands could become undocumented overnight if they do not leave or qualify for residency another way.
According to Monday's announcement by DHS, "the termination of TPS for Haiti will be delayed 18 months," in order to ensure a smooth transition.

That's not good. It goes to show that they don't care about sending people back who have been living here for a good while, legally. We've only been here legally for 5 years.

Looks to me like a generous final extension :/ .TPS will end for all recipients one day. Like all other immigrant in limbo status (DACA& TPS) Haitians need to seek an alternative lawful immigration status or be deported. Hopefully congress pass something everyone can benefit from.

If Dream Act passed, a small group of these people will benefit from the bill.

Isn't the title wrong?

The title emphasizes that TPS for Haitians has been terminated but the article states it will end on July 2019.

Can we get this fixed?

Just so everyone knows the OP who posted this story is actually celebrating this move. He once told me Mexican Dreamers are the only original Dreamers. He hates everyone else but specifically he despises dark skinned people. He also thinks I got lucky by coming here on “Diversity Visa.” Like mothafucka why would I come to DAP if I had a GC through Diversity lottery? Why am I not surprised he is posting this story? I can’t fucking wait until DA passes so I can GTFO of this forum permanently. I come here to give the right information and advice to lurkers/posters and to get some major immigration news myself.

Both of you guys need to cut that shit out. You guys went too far in that other thread.
