History

Historical Context

The 2010 magnitude-7.0 quake in Léogâne killed over 100,000 people and prompted the United States to grant Haitian nationals Temporary Protected Status, a program Obama announced that eventually sheltered more than 300,000 migrants. That TPS, set to expire on July 24 2026, now faces revocation by ICE’s ankle-monitor initiative, threatening the same community the original relief aimed to protect.
