Driscoll Statement on Trump Administration's Decision to End TPS

FEBRUARY 21, 2025

Please see Senator Driscoll's statement in response to President Trump's recent decision to end the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Haitians, here in the US:

"The Trump administration should immediately reverse its decision to end the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Haitians here in the US.

The conditions in Haiti are not safe and currently not suitable for TPS holders to return to the island. TPS holders from Haiti are contributing members of society in Massachusetts and the US. They are in the Commonwealth lawfully and many hold official work permits.

Removing protective status from Haitians living in the US at this point is contrary to the guiding principles of our nation. Congress and the Federal government must get a handle on this."
