Homeland \u200dSecurity Secretary Kristi \u2062Noem rescinded an extension previously granted \u2063by the Biden administration, which would have allowed TPS to continue for another 18 months. This decision\u200d reverts TPS to its original purpose, which is meant to be temporary. TPS has\u200b allowed Haitians to remain in\u2062 the U.S. since \u200ca devastating earthquake 15 \u2064years ago,\u2062 with \u2064the number \u200dof <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">eligible migrants significantly increasing<\/a> in \u200brecent years. \u2063The\u2062 administration&#8217;s action may face legal challenges, and it \u2064follows a trend of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-implements-new-border-security-policies\/\" title=\"... admin. implements new border security policies\">stricter immigration policies<\/a>. The change has been welcomed by some officials\u200b who argue\u200d that American resources should \u2063prioritize \u200bcitizens over undocumented immigrants.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump administration abandons Biden-era TPS extensions for Haitian migrants<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1999571\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Trump administration\">Trump administration<\/a> has announced it will remove <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President ...\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">temporary protected status<\/a> for thousands of Haitian migrants, putting them on track for removal from the United States. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/news\/2025\/02\/20\/secretary-noem-rescinds-extension-haitis-temporary-protected-status\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"vacated\">vacated<\/a> a decision made by the Biden administration to extend TPS for 18 months, meaning it will now expire on Aug. 3, adding a new wrinkle to a saga that played a big role in last year&rsquo;s presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Biden and [former DHS secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas attempted to tie the hands of the Trump administration by extending Haiti&rsquo;s Temporary Protected Status by 18 months&mdash;far longer than justified or necessary,&rdquo; a DHS spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are returning integrity to the TPS system, which has been abused and exploited by illegal aliens for decades,&rdquo; she added. &ldquo;President Donald Trump and Secretary Noem are returning TPS to its original status: temporary.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>TPS allows migrants from designated countries to remain in the U.S. even if they originally entered the country illegally, and it is typically used if there is a war or environmental disaster in their home country.<\/p>\n<p>Haiti has been designated for TPS since a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-massive-earthquake-hits-haiti-thousands-feared-dead\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Massive Earthquake Hits ..., Thousands Feared Dead\">massive earthquake hit<\/a> the country 15 years ago, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to move to the U.S. However, the vast majority entered during the Biden administration, according to DHS.

They&rsquo;re eating &mdash; they&rsquo;re eating the pets of the people that live there.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While that claim was unfounded, it spotlighted the fact that up to 20,000 people from Haiti had been allowed to move into the mid-sized city, causing disruption and concern among many of the city&rsquo;s residents.<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/in-shadow-of-immigration-firestorm-trump-made-gains-in-springfield-and-won-the-ohio-city-for-the-first-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"won\">won<\/a> the city of Springfield for the first time last year and improved his margins in Clark County, where the city is located.<\/p>\n<p>Now, those migrants could be forced to return home later this year, though the move is likely to face legal challenges. <\/p>\n<p>Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio native and former U.S. Senator, praised the administration&rsquo;s immigration stance during remarks on Thursday without mentioning Springfield specifically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3325189\/white-house-no-inflation-doge-dividend-checks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White House says &lsquo;DOGE dividend&rsquo; checks wouldn&rsquo;t spur inflation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s simple: American tax dollars should go to American citizens, not to illegal aliens,&rdquo; he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JDVance\/status\/1892623075423723694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"posted\">posted<\/a> on X. &ldquo;The Trump Administration is getting control of the border and stopping this insanity in its tracks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The news follows an announcement last month that Noem was rescinding TPS for Venezuela. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1999571\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1999571\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump administration ends TPS for Haitian migrants, risking deportation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2635,"featured_media":2405078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DHS-Haitian-migrants-TPS.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[40533,36382,49417,3634],"class_list":["post-2405077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-haitian-migrants","tag-immigration-policy","tag-tps","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/DHS-Haitian-migrants-TPS.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2635"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2405077"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2405081,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2405077\/revisions\/2405081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2405078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2405077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2405077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2405077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
