DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.

what the fuck
Lammy’s reforms would cover all prosecutions, including those brought by the Serious Fraud Office and the Environment Agency. It is anticipated that the government will also remove the automatic right to appeal against convictions. Magistrates are set to have their sentencing powers significantly increased from the maximum prison term of six months to 24 months. Under the heading “what do these proposals mean for your department?”, Lammy told government departments that the plans would not compromise suspects’ rights and suggested that “there is no right to trial by jury”. The move marks a departure from Lammy’s past views. In a social media comment posted five years ago, he said: “Trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea.”

Terminating the Temporary Protected Status
designation of Burma / Myanmar is absolutely horrific.

There fucking haven't...

Billing Code: 9111-97 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [CIS No. 2839-25; DHS Docket No. USCIS-2021-0005] RIN 1615- ZB88 Termination of the Designation of Burma (Myanmar) for Temporary Protected Status AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Through this notice, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) is terminating the designation of Burma (Myanmar) for Temporary Protected Status. The designation of Burma is set to expire on November 25, 2025. After reviewing country conditions and consulting with appropriate U.S. Government agencies, the Secretary determined that Burma no longer continues to meet the conditions for designation for Temporary Protected Status.

After [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], nationals of Burma (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Burma) who have been granted Temporary Protected Status under Burma’s designation will no longer have Temporary Protected Status.
