Those expanded operations could start as early as this week, according to reports from Fox News and CBS News, which cite unnamed federal sources. Ohio will reportedly be heavily targeted, particularly Springfield, where President Donald Trump had, in 2024, falsely accused Haitian migrants of eating residents’ pets.
It remains unclear how aggressive the reported ICE campaign will be, and if Haiti can successfully reintegrate an influx of returnees. But Jean Négot Bonheur Delva, director-general of Haiti’s National Office of Migration, told local media earlier this month that following a conversation with the U.S. embassy in the country, Haitians should expect weekly deportation flights carrying about 250 former TPS status grantees.
In a statement to CBS News, DHS said it “does not discuss ongoing or future operations,” adding: “What we would say now is it’s closing time which means you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here… The good news is it's not too late to get a $2,600 check and a free flight home.”
In his second-term Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved to terminate TPS designations for several countries, including Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Yemen. In many announcements ending those protections, then-Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that TPS was designed to be temporary, and she argued that the living conditions in many of the countries with TPS designation have improved. Any extension to the TPS designations for those countries, the department said, would be “contrary” to the “national interest.”
But these TPS rescissions and terminations have been legally challenged. In February, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Administration’s termination of Haiti’s TPS designation, though the Trump Administration appealed, eventually leading to the Supreme Court ruling.
As DHS Secretary, Noem reviewed Haiti’s TPS designation and her department found that there were no “extraordinary and temporary conditions” that prevented Haitian nationals from returning safely, and that even if there were, allowing them to stay longer in the U.S. went against national interest.
According to the latest report by the International Organization for Migration, the violence in Haiti has displaced nearly 1.5 million persons, of whom more than half are women and girls.
‘A huge mistake’
In April, the GOP-controlled House passed legislation that would require the Homeland Security Secretary to redesignate Haiti to TPS until a few months into 2029, with 10 Republicans siding with Democrats. The legislation is now pending in the Senate, where the latest attempt to pass it was blocked on July 22 by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R, Mo.). But even if the bill passes both chambers, the White House earlier said that the President’s advisers would recommend vetoing it.
Markwayne Mullin, who took over for Noem as DHS Secretary in March, defended the decision to end Haiti’s TPS designation. Speaking to CNN in June, Mullin said that those staying in the U.S. under TPS have “had plenty of time” to explore other options to legally stay in the U.S. long-term, instead of banking solely on what was intended to be a temporary measure.
“There isn’t a more generous country in the world than the United States,” Mullin said of the TPS designation, “but we don’t want people to take advantage of it.”
