MIAMI, FL - MAY 13: People protest the possibility that the Trump administration may overturn the Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in front of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office on May 13, 2017 in Miami, Florida. 50,000 Haitians have been eligible for TPS and now the Trump administration has until May 23 to make a decision on extending TPS for Haitians or allowing it to expire on July 22 which would mean possibly deportation for the current TPS holders.

Starting today, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be available for some Haitian immigrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

In a notice, DHS said the TPS designation is scheduled to go into effect on Nov. 16 through June, 2024.
