DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Friday that his agency is shielding more than 300,000 Haitian nationals from potential deportation.
To be eligible, Haitians must have been in the U.S. as of June 3. DHS predicts that it will allow an estimated 309,000 additional nationals to file for TPS, on top of those already protected. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
