[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DHS has announced it is terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than half a million Haitians in the U.S., arguing that conditions in Haiti have improved enough for them to return home, and allowing the Haitians to remain is contrary to the national interest of the U.S. TPS for these Haitians will expire on 8/3/2025 and the termination will take effect on 9/2/2025, effectively giving the Haitians a little more than 2 months to leave the country or find another form of relief or legal status. DHS statement: “This decision restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that Temporary Protective Status is actually temporary,” said a DHS spokesperson. “The environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough that it is safe for Haitian citizens to return home. We encourage these individuals to take advantage of the Department’s resources in returning to Haiti, which can be arranged through the CBP Home app. Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, if eligible.”[/quote] I love how Trump plays favorites. Abruptly end TPS for Haitians whose country is STILL a basket case but leaves Salvadoreans untouched because he's buds with Bukele. Compare and contrast. Haiti is severely unstable, with gangs controlling approximately 85% of Port-au-Prince and the country under an ongoing state of emergency. The UN reported over 5,600 deaths due to gang violence in 2024, including targeted killings and a 1,000% increase in sexual violence against children. Over one million people are displaced, and the country lacks elected representatives since 2023, with no elections held since 2016. [b]The U.N. has explicitly called for countries to refrain from deporting people to Haiti due to these dangerous conditions.[/b] El Salvador was granted TPS in 2001 following earthquakes, with extensions due to ongoing violence and economic issues. By 2018, the Trump administration argued that conditions had improved enough to end TPS, but courts disagreed, citing continued gang violence and economic stagnation. Surely the country has recovered from the 2001 earthquakes. Supposedly the violence fueled by gangs is now minimal thanks to Bukele's hard line on gang members and their imprisonment in CECOT. And, when comparing the Haitian to the Salvadoran economy, Haiti’s poverty rate (58.7%, 20% extreme) is significantly higher than El Salvador’s (27.2–30.3%, 8.8–9.3% extreme) in 2023. Not to mention that the state dept recently upgraded El Salvador in safety rankings to Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions, the safest travel advisory level, citing a significant reduction in gang activity and violent crime over the past three years. Whereas Haiti is at 4: Do Not Travel. [/quote]
