WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - Migrants in the United States on temporary protected status should seek permanent residence or leave for their home countries, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on Sunday.
The remarks to CNN's "State of the Union" program follow last week's split Supreme Court decision allowing President Donald Trump's administration to strip hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants of a humanitarian status that protects them from deportation to home countries plagued by conflict and destitution.
"Either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status or we'll help you get back to your country," Mullin said.
"We'll actually give you a plane ticket, plus roughly $2,100 to help you re-establish when you get there, but temporary protective status, according to the courts and in its name itself, is not permanent status," he added.
Federal law allows the administration to grant temporary legal residency in the United States to people fleeing war, disaster or other adverse conditions.
The status had previously been renewed successively and, despite the move to end these protections, the State Department currently warns against traveling to either Haiti or Syria, citing widespread violence, crime, terrorism and kidnapping.
The United States first provided TPS to Haitians after a devastating earthquake in 2010, and to Syrians after their country descended into civil war in 2012.
The prospect of large-scale deportations faces opposition, even among some Republicans. Also speaking to CNN on Sunday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said it was not safe for Haitians to return and that the removal of diligent workers would hurt the Ohio economy and leave the healthcare industry short-staffed.
During the 2024 election, Trump falsely accused Haitians living in Ohio of eating others' household pets. The Supreme Court's conservative majority found, however, that Haitians suing...

Why give them the option of applying for permanent residence here? They can go do that and wait when they are back in their home country NOT getting our welfare money.
What a despicable comment. Just about every Supreme Court decision is split.
You just can’t hate Reuters enough.
It wasn’t split. There was a ruling. Period
The NBA final game was split. No. After 3 hours of play the US hating Knicks and Spurs had a split game
No. The Knicks won. No split.
For sure, Reuters is a toxic waste dump.
If you let somebody come here TEMPORARILY with the expectation that they will go home, that is NOT a "deportation." Damn Reuters using charged language. And damn any weak-kneed "Republicans" who buy into that lie.
Just leave
Those Haitians, if they don’t want to go back to Haiti can get permanent residence in the Dominican Republic or Mexico. Why the hell should the USA be where they get to live forever?
So then it’s all about paperwork and then they will mostly stay?
Flush all the turds back to their home s holes.
Let the democrat wail about it. If they are such magnificent benefits to OUR country, they can remake their s holes in to magnificent countries too. BUT, everyone of them is a drain on resources and collects some sort of welfare. We don’t need them.
“...removal of diligent workers would hurt the Ohio economy and leave the healthcare industry short-staffed.”
Most of the folks from Haiti came through Mexico. I guess they swam there first. To all the tender hearts, if you want them, then by all means, take care of them. Let them live with you and support them until they can support themselves.
Don’t ask me to help.
Also, don’t set up Haitian centered communities like we did with Somalis and other third world people. We really don’t need them here despite the mantra of “who is going to do the work American’s won’t do. They don’t respect the American way of life.
The last thing the United States needs is more strangers coming to our shores
Once they are on American soil our at an overseas America embassy they may apply for asylum and are then here legally until their case is resolved one way or the other, could be days, could be years
Once they are on American soil they may apply for asylum and are then here legally until their case is resolved one way or the other, could be days, could be years
Let them apply and then immediately deny! We never wanted that scum in our country!
That can happen. Each case is different.
Forget option one.
Here is what’s going to happen. A group of Democrat attorneys will represent everyone of the TPS families. They will all apply for permanent residence. If denied by DHS, they will immediately file a case in front of a leftist judge. The judge will rule they must be allowed to stay.
