Welcome to the U.S. immigration news briefing from Corporate Immigration Partners, PC (CIP PC). The team is here to provide the latest updates on policy changes affecting corporate immigration. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security announced that temporary protective status (TPS) for Haitians will end on August 3, 2025.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti to End August 3rd
The Department of Homeland Security announced that TPS for Haitians will end on August 3, 2025.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem partially vacated an 18-month TPS extension for Haiti previously granted under the Biden Administration. The extension would have allowed for protection from deportation and work authorization through February 3, 2026.
Secretary Noem may still decide to end TPS for Haitians altogether, which would accelerate the timeline for TPS recipients to find other options or face deportation to Haiti. USCIS has indicated that the initial registration period for new TPS applicants will remain in effect until August 3, 2025.
As noted in a previous update, the Trump administration ended TPS protections for Venezuelans in January, a move that has recently been challenged in federal court.
