The Ministry of Internal Security says that the country of the Caribbean gangs is sure that Haitians can return.
The US government has announced that it will end special protections for Haitian immigrants.
In a statement published on Friday, the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS) said that, from September 2, Haitians could no longer stay in the country under the temporary designation of protected status (TPS).
TPS allows nationals of countries faced with conflicts, a natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances to stay temporarily in the United States. This also gives them the right to work and travel.
The designation is generally carried out for periods of six, 12 or 18 months, but this can be extended by the secretary of the DHS.
But under the administration of President Donald Trump, temporary protections such as TPs were brought together, as part of a wider thrust to limit immigration to the United States.
“This decision restores integrity into our immigration system and guarantees that temporary protection status is in fact temporary,” said a DHS spokesperson in the Friday press release.
Haiti received the TPS designation in 2010 for the first time, when a devastating earthquake killed more than 200,000 people and left 1.5 million homelessness – more than one 10th of the population. The designation has been systematically extended and enlarged, especially since gang violence and political instability have worsened in recent years.
Since his first mandate, from 2017 to 2021, President Trump sought to go beyond TP for Haitians, even if the conditions have deteriorated in the island nation of the Caribbean.
Today, Haiti faces an prolonged humanitarian crisis, with more than 5,600 people killed by gangs last year and 1.3 million trips. Armed groups now control up to 90% of the capital, and food, water and medical services are extremely difficult to find.
The US State Department has put a travel notice in Haiti, listing it as a country level 4, the highest level of warning.
Level 4 means “not to travel” because there are fatal conditions in the designated area. The State Department advises Americans to avoid Haiti “due to the removal, crime, civil disorders and limited health care”.
The DHS declaration, however, notes that the Kristi Noem internal security secretary “determined that, on the whole, country conditions have improved to the point where Haitians can return home safely.”
“She also determined that the permit to allow Haitian nationals to stay temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States,” the statement added.
It is estimated that 260,000 Haitians have a time. The press release advises that affected persons can either pursue another immigration status or go home.
But Haitians are not the only group to face the revocation of their temporary immigration status.
In early May, the Supreme Court erased the way For the Trump administration to revoke TP for 350,000 Venezuelans living in the United States.
Later in the monthThe High Court also judged that Trump could revoke the two -year “conditional humanitarian release” allowed 530,000 people to stay and work legally in the United States. The recipients of the affected humanitarian parole included the Cubans, the Haitians, the Venezuelans and the Nicaragaires, who are all faced with instability and political repression in their country of origin.
Trump officials also moved To end the TP For 7,600 Cameroonians and 14,600 Afghans. But criticisms note that fighting continues to rage in Cameroon and Afghanistan, the Taliban government is accused of having perpetrated generalized human rights violations.
