WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is throwing out protections that shielded roughly half a million Haitians from deportation, meaning they would lose their work permits and could be eligible to be removed from the country by August.

The decision, announced Thursday, is part of a sweeping effort by the Trump administration to make good on campaign promises to carry out mass deportations and specifically to scale back the use of the Temporary Protected Status designation, which was widely expanded under the Biden administration to cover about 1 million immigrants.

“For decades the TPS system has been exploited and abused,” Homeland Security said in the statement announcing the change. “For example, Haiti has been designated for TPS since 2010. The data shows each extension of the country’s TPS designation allowed more Haitian nationals, even those who entered the U.S. illegally, to qualify for legal protected status.”

Homeland Security said an estimated 57,000 Haitians were eligible for TPS protections as of 2011, but by July of last year, that number had climbed to 520,694.

The "They eat cats and dogs" mentality is still fresh in everyone's minds.

I bet you're gonna see a lot of them being returned home.

Not all are fine with going back to Haiti. Those are the first to quickly find a way out of Haiti to go anywhere.

True, but it's not just assholes like that. I have about 5 or 6 good friends that desparately want out. But they want to work and not do thug shit. There is no hope in Haiti right now, and that doesn't even count the gang issue.

JD. The US construction and agricultural industries rely on immigrant labour. The deportations will impact both. The Haitians do the jobs US citizens aren’t interested in doing at lower pay rates, as they do in the DR. One way or the other, the deportations will impact the US economy.

This is argument is such a worn out hat. Please don't compare the DR to the US in terms of illegal immigration. The US taxpayers are disgusted by millions of illegals grifting on our dime. Billions of US tax dollars, especially from sources such as SSA and FEMA going to prop up the lives of these people. These folks were shipped in, en masse, purely to vote for a particular party.

That said, the DR políticos want the Haitians because they (the bureaucrats) receive money from the big industry owners like sugar cane, chicken, other farming and of course construction and the DR folks' taxes paid by the mid to upper class do no go to food and housing programs for illegals. Hospitals yes. And the cat, dog and human-eating Haitians are certainly not there to vote.

And if the political rumors are true, they will be returned via/through the Dominican Republic.

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, made it a point on his recent visit that there would be lots of deportees being returned and requested assistance from certain countries to take them.......even if they were not their citizens.

And when Rubio visited DR, he was very clear in saying he knew DR already had Haitian problems, and that no Haitians would be sent here.

Of course, honesty is not this administration's best quality. Nevertheless, until Congress gives them the $100 billion *with a B* extra for deportations, the result won't be much. ICE already deports as many as they can handle, and they are not (yet) ready to send back millions more.

To be clear, the Haitians would be sent to the Dominican Republic and then sent overland back to Haiti, until such time as flights to Haiti can be done safely. Noting also that Haiti previously indicated they would not accept deportees. Where and how it ends up remains to be seem, but several Central American countries are already accepting deportees that are not their citizens.

As to where the money will come from? The same place the money came from for Biden’s 3 million deportations, but Congress is already preparing to budget for and fund the continued deportations beyond that.

PC2. Last Friday, the Senate approved a budget bill of $340 billion for 2025 fiscal year which included an extra $85 Billion for border security and deportation. They didn’t approve Trump’s request for a $4 trillion debt limit hike and a $4.5 trillion dollar tax cut.

Your deflecting EHM. The point of my post was the US deportations would impact US construction and agricultural industries and it will. My comparison to the DR reliance on Haitians was from a body count perspective. If or when the flow of cheap Haitian labour stops in the DR, the construction industry will be impacted. I doubt it will ever stop. Too many people in government and industry benefit from it.

I’ll bet Abinader doesn’t have a warm fuzzy feeling about that. There is no way in hell Abinader wants these angry deported Haitians on DR soil for any length of time. Who gets to transport them across the DR border into Haiti? DR migration and military forces or will the US supply forces to assist with the deportations on DR soil? I suspect Abinader has very little wiggle room but that’s a big ask by US migration.

And the Senate is but one half of Congress. They, the Senate, want two separate funding bills, The House of Representatives, on the other hand, prefers one big spending bill.

However it is resolved, enough money will be approved to keep deportations front and center, something the voters have demanded and a primary reason candidate Trump was elected.

Deportations have already started and they will have zero impact on the economy.

You guys are killing me 😂

These are not part of the 500,000 who have just lost TPS status. The gangs have already let it be known that they will again start firing on aircraft landing……thus the secondary plan to divert to the DR and bus overland if needed.

Not much real news here as there were only 21 deportees on board this one flight. Soon their will be multiple full flights per day every day, at least as full as they can be with the needed security on board.

Correct. This is a worn out talking point of the left. But I pay no mind to our Canadian neighbors, as they have far too many issues on their plate right now. Like being absorbed as the 51st state!

Not much, most of the agricultural workers have work visas and most construction is done by American citizens and residents. My BIL has a small construction and home improvement company in NJ but works on projects in about ten different states. He never hires anyone without papers. Ignore the troll.
