DHS starts deportation flights after end to remaining protections for TPS holders

Federal courts have lifted all remaining legal protections blocking deportations of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders after a Supreme Court decision ended the program. DHS has begun deportation flights, removing the final barriers that prevented immigration enforcement against hundreds of thousands of people from countries like Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, and Venezuela.

✦ What This Means For Us

TPS holders include HBCU students, staff, and faculty from Haiti and other Caribbean and Latin American nations. This directly threatens enrollment stability, campus community cohesion, and the ability of Black immigrant students to complete degrees. Haitian students—already navigating crisis in their home country—now face potential removal mid-semester, disrupting academic progress and research pipelines.
