Speaking on Sunday, June 29, 2025, on Radio Magik9, immigration lawyer Frandley Denis Julien explained that TPS (Temporary Protected Status) is under threat of being terminated. On one hand, the Donald Trump administration has legally positioned itself to enforce the end of the suspension, as the designation and redesignation of TPS fall under executive authority. On the other hand, Julien reminded listeners, TPS is a temporary measure that persisted due to ongoing crises in beneficiary countries.

Frandley Denis Julien compared the U.S. president's decision to end TPS to an earthquake that happened in the United States but whose tremors are being felt in Haiti. More than half a million people benefit from TPS, the majority since 2010, and some even before that date. “There are people whose only legal status comes from TPS, and these people, overnight, are being forced to abandon everything they’ve built within the U.S. economy. Most own homes, have children—some of whom were born in the U.S., grew up there, and cannot return to Haiti because they have no ties to it and do not know the country. If their parents are forced to leave, they will face many problems, and some still haven’t managed to regularize their status,” he explained.
