Latest TPS Developments for Venezuela and Haiti
In a Nutshell
On Feb. 5, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a notice in the Federal Register terminating the 2023 designation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The Biden administration had previously extended the 2023 designation until Oct. 2, 2026. A lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s actions is pending in federal district court and the presiding judge has ordered a postponement of the termination. Plaintiffs in this case have also asked the court to postpone implementation of a separate DHS decision to shorten the TPS designation period for Haiti. This FAQ addresses commonly asked questions regarding TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians.
