Update · Oct 27, 2026

Haiti lifted its orange and yellow weather alerts at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and the hydro-meteorological unit said that does not mean the risk is over: showers were still possible into Wednesday, Oct. 28, and the civil protection agency still counts at least four dead, two fishermen missing and 3,209 families affected. If your family is in the Sud, the Nippes or the Grand’Anse, call them, and do not let anyone move back into a damaged house on the strength of a lifted warning. TPS for Haiti and Syria is unchanged — terminated since July 27 — and losing it is still not a deportation order. Always confirm on the official USCIS page, never social media. See what changed →

The Numbers Nobody Will Break Down

By TPS Survival Guide · Oct 27, 2026 · Compiled from primary government sources

A campaign in Springfield counted the people wearing ankle monitors because no agency does. ICE named seven of the 82 it says it arrested in Massachusetts. One city stopped paying for its plate cameras. Three stories, one lesson: keep your own record.

Where The Letter Goes

If you moved, the government has two different deadlines for you, at two different offices, on two different forms. USCIS requires a change of address within 10 days. The immigration court's own regulation requires written notice on Form EOIR-33 within five days — and that regulation names the consequence out loud. The post office does not do either one for you.

The Notice That Doesn't Say Why

Legal-aid lawyers in Florida say the state is cutting eligible people off Medicaid while it applies the new federal rules, and that not one of the termination notices they have seen says what immigration status the state has on file.

The Country on the Order

A plane from the United States landed in Kingston on Tuesday and 22 people got off it, none of them Jamaican. Jamaica is the newest country to take people the United States removes to places they are not from. For almost everyone who lost TPS this changes nothing, because losing TPS is not a deportation order — but for the minority who do hold a judge's order, the question of which country it names is now a live one, and the law gives them a say in it.
