Trump Admin Terminates TPS for 500,000 Haitians, Orders Exit by September 2025

The Trump administration has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 500,000 Haitian migrants in the U.S., effective September 2, 2025. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by Secretary Kristi Noem, revealed the decision on June 27, 2025, escalating its push to curtail legal immigration protections.

Noem, who previously shortened Haiti’s TPS duration earlier this year, justified the full termination by claiming Haiti’s conditions have stabilized. “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved sufficiently for citizens to return safely,” a DHS spokesperson stated, though specific changes were not detailed. The move reverses a Biden-era policy that had extended TPS for 521,000 Haitians, allowing them to live and work legally in the U.S.
