MIAMI, FL – Family Action Network Movement (FANM) strongly condemns the Trump administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, effective September 2, 2025. The decision threatens the safety of more than half a million Haitian nationals who have established lives in the United States, forcing them to return to a country in deep crisis.
“This is a cruel, unjust, and politically motivated decision that blatantly ignores Haiti’s devastating and worsening conditions,” said FANM Political Director Paul Christian Namphy. “Haiti is currently enduring a catastrophic humanitarian crisis marked by rampant gang violence, political instability, hunger, and a total collapse of public services. Forcibly returning people under these circumstances is not only reckless—it is inhumane.”
Despite the Department of Homeland Security’s claim that conditions in Haiti have improved, the U.S. State Department continues to advise against travel to the country due to extreme levels of crime, kidnappings, and civil unrest. According to the United Nations, 5.7 million Haitians are suffering from acute hunger, and gangs now control the majority of Port-au-Prince, rendering roads impassable and neighborhoods unsafe.
Rachel Descollines, FANM’s Social Justice Organizer said “This administration’s decision reflects a disturbing pattern of targeting Black and immigrant communities. It is especially unconscionable to revoke TPS while simultaneously acknowledging the complete breakdown of governance and security in Haiti.”
FANM urgently calls on Congress, the White House, and the international community to take immediate action to protect Haitian TPS holders from deportation. The organization also encourages peaceful mobilization and legal action to resist this dangerous policy.
