Haitians Granted Extended US Stay Up To 18 

Haitians already in the US can now apply for an extended legal permission to remain after the Biden administration expanded their Temporary Protected Status, with those granted it last year able to stay until August 2024.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited Haiti’s political instability, gang warfare and struggling environmental relief efforts for implementing the “humanitarian relief” measures.

Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer claimed up to 100,000 Haitians would be eligible to apply for extended TPS under Monday’s announcement, although those who arrived after November 6 won’t be.
