The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday moved to end deportation protections for Haitians in the U.S., likely teeing up legal challenges.

The memo seeks to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, which allows those unable to return to their country due to unrest or a natural disaster to remain in the country without fear of deportation.

The directive from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would end the status for some 520,000 Haitians in the U.S.

Much like with an earlier directive that “vacated” TPS for Venezuelans, DHS purported to take the same action with regard to Haitians, blaming the prior administration for renewing the protections in June.

  1. Evil, but also a good demonstration of why TPS should be done through Congress and not unilateral executive action. Although I may be naive for doubting that Senate Republicans wouldn’t have filibustered protections for Haitians in 2021

    Literal fucking evil.

    You can’t just promise asylum seekers protection and then just rip it away randomly.

    They’re going to start in Springfield, OH for obvious reasons, and they are going to destroy that city.
