DHS Terminates Temporary Protected Status for Haiti

Key Point 

• The Department of Homeland Security announced the termination of Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status designation, effective February 3, 2026 

TPS Haiti  

On November 26, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a Federal Register notice announcing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. Following consultation with interagency partners, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem concluded that Haiti no longer meets the statutory requirements for TPS.  

Decision Basis  

The decision was based on a review conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), input from relevant government agencies, and an analysis indicating that continuing TPS for Haitian nationals is inconsistent with U.S. national interests. 

Looking Ahead  

The termination of Haiti’s TPS designation will take effect on February 3, 2026. Current beneficiaries of TPS for Haiti are instructed to prepare to depart the U.S. if they have no other lawful basis to remain. DHS noted that individuals may use the CBP Home mobile application to report their departure, which includes a secure self‑deportation process offering a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration to the U.S.
