Trump administration ends Haiti TPS, offers $1,000 and flight to those who leave
|
Overview:
The Trump administration announced Wednesday it is terminating Temporary Protected Status for Haiti. Haitian nationals covered under the program have until Feb. 3, 2026, to leave the U.S., with an offer of a one-way flight, $1,000 in cash and the possibility of legal reentry later.
The Trump administration announced Wednesday that it will terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, requiring Haitian nationals currently enrolled in the program to leave the United States by Feb. 3, 2026, unless they have another legal immigration status.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering those who leave voluntarily a free one-way flight, a $1,000 payment and “potential future opportunities” for legal immigration to the U.S.

The decision, posted in the Federal Register, follows a review by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and consultations with other government agencies. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem concluded that Haiti no longer meets the statutory criteria for TPS, a humanitarian program that allows nationals from designated countries to live and work in the U.S. if their home countries are facing conflict or disaster.
“Allowing Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is inconsistent with U.S. national interests,” the notice stated.
TPS was first extended to Haitians in 2010 following the catastrophic earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. The program has since been renewed multiple times in response to Haiti’s ongoing political instability, natural disasters and insecurity. The Biden administration expanded eligibility in 2021 following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and the August 2021 earthquake, bringing the total number of protected Haitians to an estimated 348,000.
This marks the second time the Trump administration has attempted to end Haiti’s TPS designation. A previous effort in November 2017 was blocked by federal courts. With President Donald Trump now in his second term, the administration is pursuing a broader immigration agenda that includes winding down humanitarian protections.

A judge ruled Sept. 5 that Haitians in the U.S. will keep their Temporary Protected Status, blocking the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the program.
by The Haitian Times
Sep. 06, 2025 According to DHS, Haitian TPS holders can use the CBP One mobile app to schedule voluntary departure. Participants will receive a complimentary commercial flight to Haiti, a $1,000 exit stipend and will not face immigration penalties that could impact future visa applications.
The offer is unprecedented in its scope for Haitians and is part of a broader self-deportation program launched in May 2025 that DHS called “historic”, though officials have not clarified how the payments will be distributed or which visa categories may be open to returnees.
Advocates say the incentive does little to address safety concerns for those returning to a country still grappling with violence, displacement and a political vacuum. The U.S. State Department currently advises American citizens against travelling to Haiti due to “grave insecurity, gang violence, [and] socio-economic collapse.”
This is a developing story.

Le 27 novembre 2025
Saluts cordiaux chers compatriotes passionnés de notre chère république confondue, chancellante et en déclin d'Haïti.
Comment allez-vous?
Enchanté de voir réunis, dans ces interventions, l'ensemble des diasporiens haïtiens qui sont impliqués dans la recherche d'une solution aux maints problèmes épineux d'Haïti depuis après, surtout, la date fatidique, oops, historique du 7 février 1986.
Acceptez (Souffrez) que je, SPP, vous dise que nous avons tous gaffé durant toute cette période que j'ai citée.
Les idées, comme à l'accoutumée sont les unes aussi intéressantes que les autres, et c'est là le hic!
Reconnaissons, pour aller de l’avant et ne pas commettre les mêmes erreurs du passé, que nous avons collectivement échoué dans notre désir intense de réussir à stopper la marche accélée d'Haïti vers le néant.
On a accusé, à tort et à raison, certains des membres des plus actifs de ce groupe d'internautes ci-dessus informés (emailed), d'être la cause de l'inefficacité de la Diaspora Haïtienne dans la Politique de chez nous.
Bref, permettez que je vous énumère ce qui nous attend comme haïtiens et haïtiennes aujourd'hui.
1. la situation politique semble sans issue car la totalité des hommes politiques n'ont aucune vision pour Haïti et semble travailler pour l’nrichissement du soi;
2. il semble n'y avoir aucun citoyen, aucune citoyenne qui puisse prétendre avoir une solution, voire la solution à la crise politique dégueulasse actuelle. Qui plus est, la communauté internationale ne trouve pas d'interlocuteurs haïtiens capables de lui présenter un plan politique cohérent qui puisse résoudre le dilemme haïtien. Cette communauté internationale semble surtout favoriser les citoyens/citoyennes haïtiens qui sont au pouvoir comme les vrais interlocuteurs. "kominote entènasyional la vle pale ak moun ki lan gouvènman e nou menm ki lan dyaspora a pa ganyen ase fòs politik ousnon finansye e di plis, nou epapiye e nou chak fè yon ti klan!"
Eskivem wi! Ganyen bwi kap kouri depi an anpre 1986 ke se HAITIAN DIASPORA FEDERATION ki pi gwo koupab la e ki vle ke se li ki dirije tout mouvman kap fèt pou Ayiti.
"Nou menm Serge pran kouraj nou poun mete kaka chat la dèwò. Eskivem ankò! Mwen sè toblije bay bagay yo jan yo sanse ye.
Passons!
Haïtiens, haïtiennes de partout qui n'êtes pas égoïstes et ou qui n'aspirez à aucune victoire personnelle pour satisfaire votre égo,
Comment allons-nous résoudre le drame haïtien qui s'aggrave davantage chaque jour et que l'International amie semble être aveugle ou refuse de nous inclure, nous autres de la Diaspora, dans la recherche d'une solution définitive et ou de départ?
3. Avant d'aller plus loin, il y a toujours des imprévus et aujourd'hui, le besoin urgent d'un stade de football ou d’un complexe Multi Sportif en Haïti s'avère ds plus urgents. Sans oublier que l'administration Martelly/Lamothe avait chambardé/volatlize/gagote, là sous yeux, tous les fonds qui avaient été prévus et alloués dans l'un des budgets de cette administration, pour la CONSTRUCTION DE COMPLEXES ADMINISTRATIFS SPORTIFS à travers le pays!
Personnellement, nous ne sommes pas d'accord avec un Stade de Football de 10.000 places, comme l'a suggéré un de nos compatriotes.
Á mon avis, il nous faut un Stade ou un Complexe Multi Sportif de 20.000 à 25.000 places, pas moins mais peut-être plus.
Adressons-nous à la FIFA pour en construire un pour Haïti si elle possède les fonds ou encore à la Banque Internationale de Développement (BID) qui accorde une aide annuelle constante á Haïti, laquelle somme est destinée à donner de la nourriture aux haïtiens et haïtiennes et qui va aboutir á la production unique d'excréments(pou yal keke)! Pèp ayisyen kapab fè yon sispann plen fal yo ak manje pandan yon bon bout tan POUN FÈ KICHOY KAP BON POU PAYI DAYITI PANDAN LONTAN, LONTAN, LONTAN WI!
Eske nou konnen ke estad Sylvio Cator (Le Stade Sylvio Cator a été construit en
1953 sous la présidence de Paul Eugène Magloire. Il a été inauguré cette année-là et était initialement nommé Stade Paul Eugène Magloire. Le stade a depuis été rénové en 2014)
ESKE NOU PA SANTI NOU WONT FRÈ N AK SÈ N AYISYEN?
Mwen SPP leve e wè e te kon frekante stad sila a e menm ale gade film cinema ladanl la Seksyon ki te kouvri a e ki te rele Tribune Officielle!
SAK KI PI RÈD AK TRIS LA SÈ KE apre tout tan sa a nou menm san koutya pèp ayisyen estil pas ganyen yon Estadium/Stade Football desan?
Mwen wont pou nou wi!!!!! PASKE SA A PA AKSEKTAB NON!!!!
An nou fè yo ti kanpe isit la, anvan nou pwopoze yon pwojè politik apske sa kapab tann OUSNON METE LAN AJANDA IMEDYA NOU POU AYITI.
De plus, Haïti abattue, ne devrait pas vivre uniquement de la politique ar cela n’ets nullement la norme dans les grandes démocraties et gouvernements fonctionnels du monde que nous suivons avec intérêt dans les nouvelles étrangères quotidiennes que nous avec intérêt.
Di plis, si nap konte sou popilasyon mefyan, pòv tankou ayisyen poun jwen yon pati lan fon poun konstwi yon STADE FOOTBALL pou payi Dayiti, nou pral desi de jody a a demen. Cela n'est pas dans le gène de l'haïtien de donner! Yon lòt kote, nou ta kapab chache don de milyonè tou patou poun finanse konstriksyon yon Complexe Multi Sportif Haïtien an pou nou tou.
E ANKÒ, nou ta kapab fòme yon CORPORATION (Société Anonyme) kote chak ayisyen ta kapab achte aksyon ousnon
OU ANKÒ OFRI "Bonds de Construction d’un Complexe Sportif National" ki ta paye entérè anyèl ant 5% e 8% ke Adminitrasyon Corporation ou Compagnie an ta koumanse paye apre 2 lane! Pa tou swit! Moun ki achte bon yo pap kapab retire lajan yo pa zavan 2 lane.
4. Sans baratinage (pale tenten), ayisyen, ayisyèn, an plis de politik san fòs nou an, Prez Donald Trump Tou Pwisan lè Zeta Zini Damerik la, pral depòte an Ayiti anviwon 350.000 frè n ak sè n a pati de 29 fevriye 2026 wi!!!
Sa se Yon Opòtinite poun Devlope yon Plan National d'Insertion et d'Accueil Patriotique Chaleureux d'un Nombre Important d'Haïtiens/Haïtinnes qui Viendront avec une Grande Puissance Financière en Appui.
Comment allons-nous les accueillir? An nou bilye politik pou yon moman non! Sa pa Fòs Ayisyen vree non!
Á notre avis, pourrions-nous suggérer par la décentralisation immédiate de la république qui permettra de placer et ou d'offrir á ces 350.000 de nos compatriotes des terrains où construire leurs logis et commerces partout dans les 10 départements de la Répubique y inclus dans le Département de l’Ouest assiégé et don’t la Capitale Port-au-Prince est étouffée par les pires assassins jamais connues dans notre histoire depuis après la déclaration de notre Indépendance en 1804!
B) Magistra yo ap kapab vann kèk tè leta ak dyaspora ou ak patikilye pou yo jwen lajan pou peye anplwaye yo pou e pou fè travay Minisipalite yo ;
C) Patikilye an Ayiti e lan Dyaspora ki ganyen byen lan depatman yo ap kapab ousnon bati kay y oak Bisnis yo e vann yon pati teren yo ganyen ki pap regle yon merde pou yo ;
D) Koutye, Avoka, Notè ap jwenn biznis pou yo pa peri ak grije ti kal kliyan yo;
E) Konsesyonè (dealers) ap jwen vant pou pwodwi yap enpòte yo ;
F) Leta Ayisyen pral sèt oblije pran mezi pou tout moun kap retounen yo ganyen dwa pou yo vini ak sa yo benzwen "san yo pa peye frè la dwann pou anviwon 2 lane e an apre Leta Ayisyen ava chaje dwa la dwan ki rezonab ;
G) Mason, ebenis, fewonye, elektrisyen, plonbye, moun ki ganyen min sab, min lacho, Mezon Materyo Konstriksyon, Mezon ki vann pyès otomobil e la triye ap kapab jwenn zafè ;
H) Fòk ganyen "Garres Routières" ak twalèt ki kanyen dlo ke dirijan salòp ayisyen depi lendepandans derefize bay popilasyon an e ke Patikilye ap kapab envesti la dan yo e pwoteje envestisman yo ;
I) Ap ganyen dyòb pou enspektè ki pou kontwole konbyen pasaje ki dwe monte lan kamyonèt yo;
car il est impératif que nous autres compatriotes haïtiens des deux sexes
qui semblons avoir nos yeux enfouis dans du sable depuis l'indépendance essayions, de toutes nos forces, de trouver une solution pragmatique à la crise fatiguante haïtienne.
Arrêtons, un instant de faire la politique - qui n'est définitivement pas notre fort car nous le prouvons journellement –
afin de trouver la solution qui conviendra et ou que nous pourrons essayer pour aider Haïti et son peuple en agonie, á trouver un répit, un souffle jusqu'á la fin de sa petite vie monotone et résignée pour la majorité au moins.

Hello to everyone on this thread,I appreciate the ongoing discussion regarding legal matters and their broader implications for our nation. While these are critical issues that demand our collective attention, I'd like to redirect our focus to the actionable and inspiring proposals put forth by Fritz. Your vision for leveraging this historic football triumph as a catalyst for national development resonates deeply and provides a concrete path forward.Building on this momentum, I believe we have a unique opportunity to address one of the core challenges you highlighted: the lack of adequate sporting infrastructure within Haiti. From a preliminary assessment, a modern, FIFA-approved 10,000-seat stadium could potentially be realized for approximately $50 million. To kickstart this, we would aim to secure initial capital of around 20% ($10 million) through collective contributions and strategic partnerships within our diaspora. The remaining funds could then be raised via a combination of debt financing and further equity investment from interested stakeholders.Such a project could be completed within an ambitious but achievable timeframe of approximately 18 months. Imagine the impact: by the time of the next CONCACAF qualification rounds, our national team could finally host their home games on Haitian soil, inspiring a new generation and significantly boosting our chances for back-to-back World Cup appearances. This would not only provide a world-class venue but also symbolize our commitment to developing local talent and fostering national cohesion.Achieving this concrete goal, rooted in sporting infrastructure, could serve as a powerful demonstration of what we, as a global Haitian community, can accomplish when we unite our resources and collective will. I am eager to explore this concept further and invite all interested parties to join in forming a task force or working group to assess feasibility, develop a detailed proposal, and begin active fundraising. Who among us is prepared to turn this vision into a tangible reality?Sincerely,Firmin BackerOn Saturday, November 22, 2025, 12:33 PM, Johnny Celestin <johnny....@gmail.com> wrote:

Thank you once again for your insightful reflections. As I continued to follow the chain of conversation, particularly Firmin Baker’s deeply relevant contribution, I felt compelled to add a broader perspective to this national moment we are witnessing.
Firmin, you raised an excellent point that deserves absolute emphasis: the near-complete silence of the Haitian government in the face of such a historic triumph is both troubling and revealing. At a time when nations often seize these victories to unite their people and inspire a new generation, our government’s absence speaks loudly. It underscores, once again, how disconnected our leadership has become from moments that should strengthen national cohesion and pride.
To your point, Firmin, I believe we must confront a difficult truth: we have all failed, collectively, as a global Haitian community. While our players fought with heart and discipline, while the diaspora celebrated around the world, we, citizens, leaders, and institutions—have not done enough to build the foundation required for sustained national success. Dr. Kernisant and I were discussing this very reality: a victory of this magnitude should have been accompanied by a national roadmap, an articulated vision, or at the very least, a governmental gesture acknowledging its significance.
This raises a critical question:
Can we, Haitians living abroad, begin preparing now for the next four years, without waiting for the Haitian government to take initiative?History has shown us that if we wait for the State, progress becomes uncertain and often nonexistent. But if there were ever a moment to step forward collectively, it is now; when the world’s eyes have briefly turned toward Haiti not for crisis or tragedy, but for excellence, discipline, and triumph.
This is not merely a moment to marvel at what our team accomplished; it is a moment to ask what we can accomplish if we leverage this historic victory as a catalyst. A moment to consider how we, as a global Haitian community with extraordinary talent, resources, and reach, can work together to build the infrastructure, programs, and support systems necessary so that four years from now:
Our national team can finally host qualifying matches on Haitian soil.
Our coaches can live, train, and develop talent within the country.
Our young athletes can rise from local academies, not foreign systems.
Our diaspora and our local communities can collaborate on a shared blueprint for national development—starting with sports, but extending far beyond it.
This window of opportunity is unique. It allows us to shift from individual achievements, magnificent as they are toward a collective national renaissance.
If our players have shown us anything, it is that Haiti still has the capacity to inspire the world. The question now is whether we, as Haitians everywhere, will seize this moment to build something worthy of that inspiration.

I wholeheartedly agree that the return of our national soccer team to the World Cup stage is a truly monumental achievement, one that brings immense joy and a much-needed sense of collective pride to all Haitians. It's a testament to the perseverance and talent of our athletes, and something we should undoubtedly celebrate.However, as we bask in this glory, your words also prompted me to reflect on the deeper context of this success, which, while inspiring, also highlights some uncomfortable truths about our nation. It's difficult to overlook the fact that this historic accomplishment was secured without the team playing a single qualifying game on home soil, with a coach who, as I understand it, has not been based within Haiti, and with a significant number of our players having been developed in foreign systems rather than through robust domestic programs.These circumstances are not merely incidental; they are stark indicators of profound structural deficiencies within our country. The chronic lack of adequate infrastructure, particularly in sports, coupled with the pervasive over-centralization of resources and opportunities around the capital, has unfortunately stifled the development of local talent and forced our national efforts to largely depend on external environments.Therefore, while the team's triumph is a powerful source of national pride, it simultaneously serves as a poignant reminder of the systemic negligence that has prevented such achievements from being nurtured and fully realized from within Haiti. It presents a bittersweet paradox: immense joy for the accomplishment, yet a significant concern for the underlying conditions that necessitated its externalization.This leads me to a crucial question for the future: four years from now, as we look towards the next World Cup cycle, will our national team finally be able to host its qualifying games in Haiti? Will we have invested sufficiently in our sporting infrastructure and grassroots programs to cultivate homegrown talent and support our coaches domestically?This moment of national celebration, I believe, should not just be an end in itself, but a powerful catalyst for introspection and strategic action. It offers an invaluable opportunity to channel this renewed national spirit into tangible development, addressing the fundamental issues that will ensure future successes are truly rooted in and propelled by our own national capabilities.Sincerely,Firmin BackerOn Saturday, November 22, 2025, 8:39 AM, Johnny Celestin <johnny....@gmail.com> wrote:

Subject: Re: Let's not be distracted from our national team's accomplishmentsTo all my compatriots and friends of Haiti, our tormented homeland,At the very moment when Haiti should be basking in a rare, unifying moment of joy—our national soccer team’s triumphant return to the World Cup stage after 51 years—two high-profile legal cases have abruptly shifted the public narrative. Instead of celebrating an extraordinary accomplishment that proves, once again, the resilience and talent embedded within the Haitian people, social media has been flooded with headlines involving two prominent members of our global community: Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Pras Michel of the legendary Fugees. Both were born in New York to Haitian ancestry
Their cases—one an accusation, the other a conviction—have been sensationalized with remarkable speed. Whether these situations reflect fair application of justice or are colored by political undercurrents is a question only time, due process, and careful examination will determine. Both individuals are entitled to the presumption of innocence, the right to defense, and the same sober, measured treatment afforded to others in this country. Too often, however, members of marginalized communities are disproportionately judged in the court of public opinion long before the courtroom has spoken. For the Haitian Diaspora—one of the largest, most accomplished Black immigrant communities in the United States and beyond—this is not a moment for shame or collective guilt. Nor should these unfolding cases overshadow the monumental achievement of Haiti’s national team, a feat that symbolizes hope, perseverance, and national pride amid adversity. The accusations circulating today pale in comparison with the far more egregious misdeeds that often go unpunished or unexamined in broader society.
Let us remain vigilant, fair-minded, and united. Let us avoid casting stones or drawing premature conclusions. And above all, let us refuse to allow external narratives to strip away the pride we rightfully feel for our athletes, for our community, and for our homeland. Haiti has shown the world that, even amid its challenges, its sons and daughters can meet any global standard. We must hold onto that truth—firmly, confidently, and without apology.
