This guidance supersedes the Update on Termination of TPS for Haiti message posted on July 1, 2026.
ALERT: After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem determined that Haiti no longer met the conditions for designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). See Termination of the Designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status, 90 Fed. Reg. 54733 (Nov. 28, 2025). Haiti’s TPS designation and related benefits were slated to terminate on February 3, 2026. On February 2, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order staying the Secretary’s TPS termination decision. Miot et al. v. Trump et al., No. 25-cv-02471-ACR (D.D.C.).
