On July 1, 2025, DHS terminated the designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Haiti’s TPS designation and related benefits were slated to terminate on Sept. 2, 2025. However, on July 15, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York issued a final judgement in Haitian Evangelical Clergy Ass’n v. Trump, No. 25-cv-1464, that that makes the effective date of any termination no earlier than Feb. 3, 2026.
