Trump II Admin to End Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants

The administration will revoke Temporary Protected Status and work permits for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in September. The protected status has allowed Haitians to immigrate from their crisis-stricken nation to the U.S. legally since 2010. The administration said that crisis conditions in Haiti have abated enough to end the program. Meanwhile, the State Department advises Americans to avoid travel to Haiti due to its widespread gang violence.
