According to a DHS release, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “determined that conditions in Haiti no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements,” after concluding that conditions in the country have improved sufficiently for Haitians in the U.S. to return. The DHS plans to terminate the designation effective on Sept. 2.

The DHS said Secretary Kristi Noem ended the temporary protected status designation for Haitians because letting them stay was against the “national interest.”

The United States State Department says it is ending the TPS of over 500,000 Haitians without a reason why, contradicting its own warnings
