Trump Cancels Deportation Protections for Half-Million Haitian Immigrants 

HeadlineFeb 21, 2025

President Trump has rolled back a Biden-era program granting temporary relief from deportations to an estimated half a million Haitian immigrants living in the United States. Guerline Jozef, the executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, told the Miami Herald, “Slashing six months of protection while Haiti faces rampant insecurity and a humanitarian crisis is nothing short of a death sentence. This is racism in policy form, and we must resist it at every turn.”
