DHS Tells Haitians It's 'Time to Go Home' After TPS Ends

In an interview with Fox News Friday, DHS General Counsel James Percival told Haitians it's "time to go home," following the Supreme Court's ruling to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria Thursday.

What will happen to Haitians who had their TPS terminated?

Percival urged them to use the CBP Home app, which notifies the U.S. government their intention to self-deport. If they do so, they can take advantage of a $2,600 payment to do so, instead of being subject to ICE arrest and detention.

"You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here. The good news is it’s not too late to get a $2,600 check and a free flight home," Percival told Fox News.

Following the Supreme Court decision, over 300,000 Haitians here on TPS need to leave the U.S. and either return to Haiti or somewhere else.
