The Biden administration will expand deportation relief and access to work permits for Haitians who are already in the United States, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Monday, a move that comes as Haiti's government struggles to stabilize the country.
The administration will offer Temporary Protected Status to an estimated 264,000 Haitians for 18 months after the current designation expires in February.
TPS provides deportation protection and permission to work to foreigners who cannot return to their home countries due to natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary factors. Former Republican President Donald Trump tried to end TPS for Haiti and other countries, but was blocked by federal courts. Biden, a Democrat, expanded Haiti's designation in August 2021 to include Haitians who had arrived in the past decade.
