Officials said the payment aims to assist with reestablishment in the home country. A department spokesperson stated on Sunday that migrants on TPS should either apply for permanent status or accept assistance to return. The same statement noted that temporary status is not permanent status.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Thursday that allows the Trump administration to end temporary legal protections for migrants from Haiti and Syria. The decision clears the way for deportations affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
Protection lists a higher amount of $2,600 on its voluntary self-deportation assistance website. That figure is an increase from a $1,000 incentive offered in May. The story remains under development.
