On Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the Trump Administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in its attempt to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 350,000* Haitians living in the United States (*Source : Congressional Research Service, March 2025), despite the ongoing violence in Haiti that has displaced more than 1.4 million people who have fled the violence.

The Department of Justice, in an emergency motion, asked the Supreme Court to overturn Justice Ana C. Reyes’s ruling blocking the administration’s action to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-47009-haiti-flash-reprieve-granted-to-350-000-haitian-tps-beneficiaries-despite-trump-s-pressure.html Judge Reyes had determined that the administration's decision regarding Haitians was likely motivated, in part, by "racial animus".

Kristi Noem, appointed by Trump and then U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security (since dismissed and replaced by Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, a staunch Trump ally), concluded in November 2025 that there were "no extraordinary and temporary conditions" in Haiti that would prevent Haitian migrants from returning to their Caribbean country, while at the same time the U.S. State Department advised against all travel to Haiti "due ​to kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, civil unrest and limited healthcare." https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-45343-haiti-flash-risk-of-terrorist-violence-do-not-travel-to-haiti.html
