Homeland Security Secretary Mullin Says Haitians and Syrians Can Seek Green Cards or Return with Aid

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says Haitians and Syrians who lose Temporary Protected Status can apply for lawful permanent residence or temporary visas but approvals are not automatic and applicants with felonies or social-program dependence face heightened scrutiny.Mullin says the administration will offer airfare and $2,100 for people who choose voluntary return after the Supreme Court upheld the administration's authority to end TPS by a 6-3 vote affecting roughly 350K Haitians and 6K Syrians.Mullin defends the safety of returning to Haiti while acknowledging Federal Aviation Administration limits on commercial flights to Haiti and Syria and says the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State can arrange special flights where commercial service is limited.
