Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Friday that the agency is terminating temporary protected status for more than 520,000 Haitians who fled their country due to political instability and widespread gang violence.
The special designation for Haiti expires on Aug. 3, and its termination will take effect on Sept. 2. After reviewing the island nation’s conditions, Noem determined that Haiti is safe enough for its citizens to return.
