Headline: UNCAPTIONED: US Tells TPS Migrants To Seek Permanent Status Or Leave
Caption: US Tells TPS Migrants To Seek Permanent Status Or Leave. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has urged migrants with Temporary Protected Status to obtain permanent residency or leave the country. His comments follow a Supreme Court of the United States ruling allowing the Trump administration to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants. Mullin said migrants should either apply for permanent legal status or accept government assistance to return home. He said the administration would provide a plane ticket and about $2,100 to help migrants resettle in their home country. The ruling affects around 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians previously protected under Temporary Protected Status. Critics say Haiti and Syria remain too dangerous for people to return because of ongoing violence and instability. Some Republicans, including Mike DeWine, have criticized the decision and called for protections for Haitian migrants to continue. Around 1.7 million migrants from 17 countries currently hold Temporary Protected Status in the United States. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
