Deportation flights to Haiti now land in Cap-Haïtien because the main airport in Port-au-Prince is considered too dangerous to use. The US is sending people back into exactly that danger.
Kevin F. Mawe, Rian's Executive Director, has two Haitian-American grandsons. They have never met their other grandfather or their uncles in person, because Haiti has been too dangerous to visit for years.
In a new piece for MassNonprofit News, Kevin writes about TPS and the other protections that exist for people who are vulnerable through no fault of their own: crime victims, abuse survivors, and young people who were neglected or abandoned. The Trump administration has moved against nearly all of them.
At Rian, we help people who qualify for these protections receive what the law promises them. Kevin calls this work "quintessentially patriotic."

You do know what the T in TPS stands for, right?
What does the “T” stand for?
No, ending TPS is following the rule of law. Remember? No one is above the law.
Damn, it’s unsafe for Haitians in Haiti because of Haitians. Is it unsafe in America because of Haitians?
I thought they had temporary status due to the earthquake in Haiti 2010, but it kept getting extended due to this and that. The US has given more than 20 billion in foreign aid to Haiti over the last 60 years. 2026 funding stands at 65.1million. Haiti gets most of its external financial inflow and foreign exchange from remittances sent by family members living abroad which equal roughly 20% of its GDP. This of course is what lots of foreign national do in the US sent money home but now it is time to go home.

All of a sudden... equality is important. Where was that energy... decades ago?
Using homelessness to genoc1de the poorest and most vulnerable citizens to make room for the cheap immigrant labor you exploit is disgusting and inhumane. Your support of immigration is a luxury belief that makes you richer. But the reality is you have the blood of your neighbors on your hands.
Good riddance to every illegal!!
Lisa Judy It took the Nazis 6 years to dehumanize people so badly that they started offing people. We're in year 2 and you people are salivating at electric cattle prod gloves. Take a good long look in the mirror at what you've become.
Issue the repatriated Haitians M4s and six mags when they get off the plane. Tell them to go get more guns.
No. The airport is occupied by the US military right now. Just like every other place and time, they made the gangs shoot at the airplanes so flights would not go there so they could have the airport to use without anyone noticing.
The ingratitude after overstaying your welcome by 15 years is amazing. Bye bye. Oh and the next time go ask someone else for help scumbags
That’s just stupid
More touchy feeely bullshit from people who dont habe to bear teh burden
Temporary is Temporary it is hypocrisy to know you are temporary in a country, so you are given time to collect money and time to go back to your culture and home. What law promises them permanent status this is why law makers don't let the American people know about these kinds of deals and how much they cost taxpayers. There is no information how much Kevin F. Mawe is worth,he is retired and worked has an attorney for BNY Mellon where focused on fiduciary business and investment management. Public records link him to a residential property in Dedham, Massachusetts with an estimated market value of roughly $962,000.
