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.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas extended and redesignated Haiti for TPS from Aug. 4, 2024, through Feb. 3, 2026. Nationals of Haiti and individuals with no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti may submit an initial registration application under the redesignation of Haiti for TPS and apply for an EAD. Current beneficiaries who want to maintain their status must re-register and may apply for new EADs.
