Some 300,000 Haitians living in the United States are set to benefit from renewed deportation protections from the Biden administration, which is set to announce the expansion of Temporary Protected Status for the nationals from the troubled country, The Miami Herald reported on Friday.
Concretely, the Department of Homeland Security is set to extend and redesign the plan for Haitian nationals for 18 months. The decision has to do with the deteriorated situation in the country, where almost 600,000 people have been displaced by continued violence and gangs control most of the capital, Port-au-Prince, as well as rural areas lack any kind of police protection.
