US Ends Haitian TPS: Florida Families Face Deportation as Protection Program Expires
Haitian families in Florida fear separation as Temporary Protected Status ends, risking reunions and safety amid rising violence and policy shifts.
Introduction
In Lakeland, Florida, a birthday celebration sits beside a looming policy deadline. Marven’s 16th birthday is filled with laughter, yet his mother Guerline and sister Rochelle live with the fear that they could be sent back to Haiti when Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians expires.
Stacey Nageli Angulo, who adopted Marven after Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, helped Guerline and Rochelle move to the United States. TPS has shielded them since 2010, but the program is due to end for Haitians in February, reshaping the family’s future and their sense of belonging.
